Honduras

Honduras successfully and peacefully elected a new president on Sunday. His name is Pepe Lobo.

Things in Honduras have been pretty peaceful for quite a while, and this election should further stablize things.

The former president, who was removed from office by the military while we were there last summer, is still holed up in the Brazilian embassy. No one seems to be clear on what his future is. I think if he tries to leave he will be arrested.

Our trip, scheduled for January 24-30, is shaping up pretty well. We'll be purchasing our tickets soon. We all have to raise our funds for the trip, which is about $1,000. Each person also needs to raise about $1,200 to build a house. For more information about all this, or if you want to help fund our trip, you can click here.
