Another
family from the Las Peņitas community. Trees planted in summer of
1999 have grown, so much so that I did not get my camera in good focus (Ted
would have taken a much clearer shot).
Quite
a few trees are peaking up among rooftops. Renacer Marcovia is the
cleanest housing project for Mitch refugees that we visited as part of Benny's
thesis project.
This
little girl, we were told, was taken to the USA for a heart operation. Her
father says that she is doing fine. There are still some problems to solve
here, as everywhere in Honduras, including child nutrition and general health
care, education, and employment, but here in Renacer Marcovia many people are
looking for creative ways to get things done.
I have a couple of more pictures to scan somewhere in the stack and will post them one of these weeks.
