The Road to Los Mejias, Honduras

I won't be blogging and Tweeting much in the next few weeks.

I am headed to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where the Ann Campana Judge Foundation is beginning a village water project in Los Mejias, in the Sierra de Omoa.

Here are some pictures of the region taken by my friend Rolando Lopez (both as PPT and PDF).

Download Los Mejias (PPT)

I return late on 3 July.

"Mala suerte." or "Tough luck." -- My friend Alex's response to my question "In Honduras, what rights do downstream users have when there is upstream development?"
