Porfirio Lobo practices social outreach
 The
President of the National Congress of Honduras,
Porfirio Lobo Sosa, with a group of school children
on a tour of the legislative palace.
 TEGUCIGALPA
— The president of the national congress, Porfirio Lobo took a break
from pressing political engagements on Monday, in order to allow a class
of young school children into the main congressional chamber. The
children, who were seemingly unaware of all the attention they were
generating, were from the bilingual Elvel School, in Tegucigalpa. After
a brief explanatory tour the children sat around the debating table and
were all assigned a microphone in order to further probe Mr. Lobo about
various aspects of congress. Full article

most violent region in the world, after the Sahara in Africa. “The wealth is

Development Bank, as part of which, he has been holding a series of
discussions on the levels of poverty and violence in the continent this week.

Survival economy:
A valid, yet inefficient response
 Maybe
what economists are currently searching for is to create a survival economy,
however they are not committing themselves to the quest, and are forgetting
about the realities of the world. Every economy model proposed by the
universities of the world have the seal of failure printed on them. It is as
though the economist just sat down at his desk and forgot what his brain was
really meant to work for; home economy. These university proposals seem to be
focused towards profits only, and not in the world the human race are
currently living in.

Theater Review: The lighter side of plumbing
 TEGUCIGALPA
— Mi mujer es el plomero (my woman is the plumber) is the hilarious
story of a group of four women, a plumber, a caretaker, and a widower
who with the help of the magical, spend their time working at
cross-purposes. When the plumber, Daniel arrives at the widower,
Sergio’s house to fix a leak in the bathroom, the spirit of Sergio’s
dead wife enters his body. The obvious set of confusions that a woman’s
soul in a man’s body lead to are perpetuated by the chaos that already
exists in Sergio’s life: he not only has two women trying to lure him,
but a disapproving mother who is constantly reminding him that he has
been a widower for only a year.

The knowledge business
Honduras
needs to find an industrial sector that will hire massively and raise
the educational level of our work force. Well, look again, because we
already have it: The knowledge business. The largest government work
force is the 50,000 teachers that are employed by the Ministry of
Education. Still there are 20,000 teachers without jobs, 2,000 new ones
graduating every year and only 450 job openings each year.
