Honduras

We are in Houston, heading out in the morning for Honduras. We will be staying in the village of Embarcadero for our Village Partners Project, with no electricity or internet for most of the trip, but we will be blogging when we can. I will blog here, and Jeff will be blogging over at Buscher's Blog. Now, I am heading to bed for a 5am wake up call!

Earthquake in Honduras

We woke up this morning to news of a major earthquake in Honduras. The 7.1 earthquake had its epicenter about 80 miles off the coast of La Ceiba - one of the cities we have visited many times during our Jewell trips. Because of the severity of the quake, the effects were felt far and wide, killing one boy so far, and knocking down bridges. Many of the cities and places mentioned in this AP report are right where we were just a few months ago, and where a few folks from Jewell are scheduled to head tomorrow morning.

We do not have word yet how this has effected our friends at Proyecto Alcance or at the village of Embarcadero.
