  • Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) Honduras: Tropical Depression 12-E
    Disaster relief emergency fund (DREF) Honduras: Tropical Depression 12-E DREF operation n° MDRHN005 GLIDE n° FL-2011-000127-HND 21 October 2011 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. 220,062 Swiss francs have been allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Honduran Red Cross (HRC) in delivering immediate assistance to some 800 families (4,000 persons). Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Severe precipitation brought by Tropical Depression 12-E combined with previous rainfall from the rainy season in Honduras has caused saturation of the soil and subsequent flooding. Thirteen of the 18 departments of the country are in a State of Emergency, but damages are HRC volunteers and technical personnel have conducted search, rescue concentrated in the Choluteca and and evacuation activities of the population affected by flooding. Source: Valle departments. HRC. The Honduran Red Cross is actively responding to the emergency through its volunteers and technical personnel. Volunteers are conducting search and rescue activities, providing pre-hospital care and evacuating families in flooded or at-risk areas to safer locations. This DREF operation aims to support part of the HRC’s overall Plan of Action with a focus on relief distributions, emergency health and safe water as well as ensuring safety equipment for its volunteers.

OVERALL SITUATION Since 10 October, Tropical Depression 12-E developed and then slowly dissipated; to date a broad area of low pressure including the remnants of Tropical Depression 12-E extends from south eastern Mexico into the north western Caribbean Sea presenting persistent rains all over Central America. Precipitations are constant (from intermediate to strong) and threatening as they are affecting the soil's saturation levels. Due to this, damage has been caused to the coastal areas, mainly in Guatemala and El Salvador and to a lesser extent in Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. As of October 16, the level of rainfall, and consequently the river levels, are increasing. The forecast is an additional 24 hours of rain (less intense than previous ones), which could exacerbate the situation over the next days.

  • 1 out of School and out of Work in Choluteca, Honduras
    Out of School and Out of Work in Choluteca, Honduras: A Phenomenological Study Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Larry Keith Overholt Graduate Program in Agricultural and Extension Education The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Dr. Tracy Kitchel, Adviser Dr. Graham Cochran Dr. Caryn Filson 1 Copyrighted by Larry Keith Overholt 2018 2 Abstract The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand why the youth of Choluteca, Honduras decided to shift away from a no work and no school attitude, and why they decided to return to study at the Vocational School. Data was collected by individual interviews and included the students as active participants, using photovoice methodology.The most emergent theme of the study was the issues that contributed to the students being “ninis” (out of school and out of work). There were two major sub-themes of not studying and not working. These two themes, along with the ages of the students (15-17-year olds), are the three defining factors of being a “nini” in Latin American Countries. The sub-theme of not studying included the categories of economic needs, system failure, lack of student incentive, and student’s suggestions for improving their options for education. In the second sub-theme, the students’ lived experience of not working is described and interpreted. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the ninis of the Latin American Countries, to the young people who continue to hope for an opportunity to study and to find dignified jobs, to the teachers in Honduras who give tirelessly of themselves so that young people can continue to gain knowledge and gain skills that will prepare them for the life ahead of them, to my co-workers with World Gospel Mission, whom have been patient and supportive of me following my dream, and to my family who have provided the love and encouragement for me to continue, especially my wife and best friend Angie.

  • Choluteca, Honduras
    Catástrofes naturales Con temblor la tierra aclama al hombre que tenga piedad con fuertes gritos exclama que lo que haga no es nimiedad. Son pedidos de auxilio de un mundo descuidado ¿Tendremos que buscar exilio por lo que hemos abandonado? Las aguas también protestan con lluvias desbordan los ríos. Los hombres solo contestan cuidando sus grandes señoríos. Hacen cumbres y reuniones, grandes cenas, fotos miles, firmando falsas uniones pero se protegen con misiles. En Marte se busca vida a Saturno cohetes lanza. De nuestro planeta se olvida dejándonos sin esperanza. Es doble mensaje que dan: por un lado, la advertencia, lo que nos recomiendan y en el otro la inclemencia. Tsunamis, terremotos, inundación. La tierra con esto se defiende. Efecto invernadero y contaminación, es el hombre que no entiende. El ser humano teme ahora cuando lo único necesario era cuidar la obra creadora porque es urgente y no espera.

  • Annual Report 2000
    HONDURAS May, 2001 This Annual Report is intended for reporting on the Federation's Annual Appeals only. Appeal No. 01.19/2000 Appeal Target: CHF 1,576,588 (revised budget) The Context Two years after Hurricane Mitch hit Central America, Honduras continues to be faced with the challenge of improving its capacity to respond to the many disasters that regularly affect its people. While improving its capacity to respond to disasters, Honduras simultaneously must reduce the exposure of its vulnerable people to the risk of disaster by continuing to build on local capacities in disaster preparedness. The developmental process of strengthening capacities and reducing vulnerabilities is at stake due to the ongoing process of urbanization, which is creating new groups of poor people. This is coupled with the economic consequences of the damage caused by hurricane Mitch and the negative effect on production and exports. These are critical factors to be taken into account when considering the dynamics of this country of approximately six million people that only recently regained its stability and real autonomy after a long period of indirect rule. In the autumn the World Bank agreed to reduce Honduras’ debt by 900 million dollars on the condition that the government continues the structural adaptation programmes and reduces poverty. Since the early days after hurricane Mitch, the Honduran Red Cross (HRC) gained a central place in the country’s humanitarian scene. The capacity of its volunteers in responding to disasters and the major international support received in the aftermath of Mitch, proved instrumental in saving thousands of lives.

  • ABSTRACT HINTZE, LUIS HERNANDO. Characteristics, Transaction Costs, and Adoption of Modern Varieties in Honduras (Under the Direction of Dr
    ABSTRACT HINTZE, LUIS HERNANDO. Characteristics, transaction costs, and adoption of modern varieties in Honduras (Under the direction of Dr. Mitch Renkow and Dr. Gerald Carlson). This dissertation researches the factors contributing to the low levels of adoption of improved maize varieties and the choice of maize varieties among small farmers in Honduras. An agricultural household model is developed. It explicitly incorporates two explanations from the adoption literature that have not yet been tested simultaneously: (i) consumption and production characteristics of different varieties as perceived by farmers, and (ii) transaction costs and access to markets. The empirical analysis also considered additional variables that have been used by previous adoption studies related to household characteristics, human and financial capital, and environmental characteristics. To test the model, information was collected in a survey of 167 farmers located across 34 villages in two distinctly different agro-ecological zones in Honduras. From non-parametric analysis of the information regarding farmers’ perception of maize characteristics, four conclusions were drawn: (i) Farmers perceive differences among varieties for some of the characteristics they consider to be important; (ii) varieties that are widely used tend to be regarded as having good performance with respect to the most important characteristics; (iii) sometimes, varieties that are widely used are outperformed by other varieties for some of the characteristics evaluated. In those cases,
