I truly appreciate the way you're sharing the powerful stories of both suffering and hope from the women and communities you encountered during your trip. I hope many people have the chance to read your reflections and gain a deeper understanding of how critical aid can be for marginalized communities in Honduras—communities that dream of a better future in their own country, yet are often forced to migrate due to the combined impacts of violence, poverty, and climate change.
Historically, Honduras has depended on the United States for remittances, maquila industries, banana exports, and development aid. Yet, it has also contributed significantly to the U.S. economy and culture, generating value and enriching the country in many ways. I sincerly hope both societies keep strong ties and support in the near future.
Thank you, Maite. It was a very informative and substantive visit with so many hard-working, inspiring Hondurans we visited. Thank you for all you do as well. I too hope the US and Honduras can continue a productive partnership!
Joanne, Thank you for your first person report on the role U.S. assistance has had in Honduras, especially for women and children...and the effect of the sudden cutbacks.
Joanne, thank you for your visit to Honduras.
