Along with the official parade and festivities held at the huge, local football stadium in Tegucigalpa, a parade of thousands marched in colourful garb, waving flags and slogans of every political persuasion and self-interest group through the streets to the city centre. 'Twas a colourful initiation for those of us who watched the action right outside our hotel.
Tomorrow a more sombre day awaits us as we see the reality of poverty in Honduras. But it will be an equally joyous day when we witness the beautiful smiles of hundreds of children receiving bedkits. For the children of Honduras, thank you friends and donors for making it a very special day for so many.
Irene Harrison,
For SCAW Team Honduras 2010
