We got sad news this past week - because of budget cuts they are killing two projects for the 5 we have in Honduras. One of which is mine - Municipal Development. So that means I am part of the last volunteer group for the project. Its sad because it is a much needed project and makes my work harder because any project has to be completed or self sustainable because no Municipal development volunteer will come after me to follow up.
So the other volunteers and I are moaning and groaning a bit but we are going to finish out STRONG!
Good luck MD warrior... hopefully, someone in DC will change their minds, as my two colleagues and worked so hard to start this program back in '99.
ReplyDeleteEs una lastima. I served as a Municipal Development Volunteer in Honduras from 2000-2002. I think it's a great project, and that my fellow volunteers and I did valuable work. Hey, maybe we did such a great job that Honduran local governments are fixed, and don't need anymore help?
