When this internship first began November seemed so far away. It’s scary how quickly time has passed and that in just a few short days we will be returning to Canada.

It's hard to believe, but our time in Honduras has almost come to an end.

As the Business Development intern in Honduras, I thought I’d tell you a little bit about the kinds of business activities we run with the women in Iriona and Esparta.

Honduras has a big garbage problem. We've noticed from the very beginning that littering is common in both the rural communities and the cities, and that burning garbage is the most common form of disposal.

Yucan do it!

It would be an understatement to say that yuca plays an important role in the Garifuna communities where we work. It's a dietary staple and a major source of income generation for the people here, and has been harvested for hundreds of years.

Welcome to Honduras

At the end of July Shannon and I had the opportunity to travel to the western highland mountains in Guatemala and visit the interns in Comitancillo. Now, 6 months since we first arrived in our host countries, the Guatemalan interns; Claudia and Mafe, had their turn to visit the CAUSE Honduras programs in Iriona.

Ali and I have been working on some reports lately and in doing so, it occurred to me that I haven't written much about the programs CAUSE just started in Esparta. Since we live and work in Ciriboya, Iriona, I've been so wrapped up in the activities there I have completely neglected this very important region.
