Some of you have contacted us with questions about the current turmoil in Honduras, and for that reason we have decided to send you a small update.
In the night from Saturday to Sunday, President Mel Zelaya has been removed from power by a small military brigade; this move was supported by the National Congress, the National Supreme Court, and the Armed Forces. He was flown to Costa Rica and from there traveled to Nicaragua. An interim president was sworn in on Sunday afternoon.
Although international rejection is unanimous and strong, it seems that a majority of people and institutions in the country approve of what has happened during the weekend. There is some civil unrest in the capital,and there have been some isolated incidents in other parts of the country.
In El Progreso we are all doing fine. We have full access to food, energy and other necessities. All the children and adults with whom we work are doing well and none are hindered in their daily activities.
If there are any important changes, we will inform you again.
