| Sub-Director of Swedish Cooperation Supervises Stockholm Bridge
By ROSA AGUILAR TEGUCIGALPA. Sub-Director of Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida, Staffan Herrström, visited Honduras this month to oversee the work performed by the Swedish Cooperation with Honduras. The Stockholm Bridge was one of the projects supervised by Herrström. “This is the first time I am extremely close to the construction of a bridge and feel impressed about the one being built in Tegucigalpa.”
Honduran and Swedish governments signed an agreement on December 11, 2002 to construct the Stockholm Bridge between the cities of Tegucigalpa and Comayagüela in order to reduce the traffic congestion in downtown. The funds donated by Sida are approximately USD 1.9 million. The Inter-American Development Bank, IDB, co-finances this project with a credit of USD 1.8 million. The total funds invested in the construction and supervision of the bridge are approximately USD 3.7 million. The Stockholm Bridge will be 165 meters long and its width will be sufficient to facilitate three ways for vehicle circulation and a couple of 3-meter sidewalks for pedestrians. The bridge is being built from the fourth street of Comayagüela City, over the Choluteca River, to Los Cohetes and 14 de Julio streets near the National Stadium. The name of Stockholm Bridge was selected to commemorate the 1999 Stockholm Conference, to honor the contribution given by Sweden after the devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch and symbolize the sisterhood established between the cities of Tegucigalpa and Stockholm during the reconstruction period. The inauguration of the Stockholm Bridge will take place by the beginning of the second semester of the year 2005.
Oscar Alvarez Challenged to a Public Debate The director of the Centre of Prevention and Treatment of Victims of Torture, Juan Almendárez Bonilla, challenged Oscar Alvarez, Minister of Security, to a public debate through the different means of communication. The reason of this challenge is because the director of this centre considers that the minister is trying to induce the groups dedicated to the maltreatment of children in the streets to execute the defenders of the human rights. Almendárez opened up in Radio América, a renowned radio station, and spoke strongly against the work done by Minister Alvarez. La Tribuna On “Hold” Troops to Haiti Federico Brevé Travieso, Minister of Defence, expressed that the report from the president of the republic, related to the commission that travelled to Haiti to study the possibility of sending soldiers on a peace mission, will soon be sent. “We have been studying that possibility,” he said, “but we still haven’t received the final report.” “The mission sent to Haiti allowed the study of a series of conditions in the country which will permit the planning of the mission on a more detailed basis,” said Brevé Travieso. “Once we have all the details, the president will be informed and if his decision is to send to troops to Haiti, the National Congress, in charge of authorizing it, will be notified.” La Tribuna

A Shattered Dream…Goodbye Germany 2006 By HERIBALDO LAÍNEZ It is all over. Costa Rica crushed an important Honduran dream. Good Bye Germany 2006. Honduras’ soccer team failed to win the last match when it was necessary to achieve not just a tie bit to be victorious. The H-Team headed
by coach, “Chelato” José de la Paz Herrera, played
this game last November 17th and, although, it was better than others
it was not enough. Costa Rica had a strong defense and got the score
that they needed (0-0) to make it through to the final round world
cup qualifier. After the elimination, several sectors have expressed their discomfort with the Honduras Soccer Federation (FENAFUTH) directors. Changes in the Fenafuth’s administration are what the fans and the National League director’s are asking for. Nevertheless, Fenafuth’s president, Rafael Leonardo Callejas has said, that he will not abandon his position. “To quit, would increase the crisis in the national soccer,” he stated. “It is time to get to work and have more competence”. The competence that Callejas means is the Uncaf Cup, which will be take place in Guatemala City next February.
First Lady, Aguas Ocaña Presides the Real Madrid’s Foundation in Honduras By HERIBALDO LAÍNEZ Real Madrid’s Friends Foundation, was created last Tuesday with the objective: to contribute to integral development of children. First Lady, Aguas Ocaña de Maduro, has been named president of this new organization, which involves one of the most famous and important soccer teams in the world: Real Madrid. “Today is a very special day for us, because we consolidate the Real Madrid’s Foundation,” she said. “As you know, a few weeks ago in Madrid, specifically at the Santiago Bernabeau Stadium, we signed up the agreement with Real Madrid Foundation, and 111 Honduran children who are studying there were present.” “I was surprised
because I never thought that I would be in company of those compatriots
in the signing of the agreement,” said the First Lady. “We want to show them how to follow good examples”. Aguas Ocaña, said that the people who wanted to be sponsor of this new organization could contact vice-president Arturo Enamorado at 990-9436 or E-mail fundamadridh@cablecolor.hn A special match To raise funds for this foundation, the First Lady announced that a special match will be played next December 16th at the National Stadium. In this match, teams will be formed by the politicians of the Partido Liberal against Partido Nacional. “It sounds appealing, we are going to put these political parties face to face,” she expressed. “I hope my husband, Ricardo Maduro participates in the game.” |

| The Lost Treasures of the ‘Mayan Athens’ By CHRISTOPHER HART The continuing disagreement between the city of Copán Ruinas and central government in Tegucigalpa over the state of Honduras’ most important Mayan site threatened to erupt into all-out war this week. The Town Council of Copán Ruinas issued its most strongly-worded statement yet, expressing in vehement terms its profound concern with what it calls ‘repeated corrupt practices and institutional irregularities’ in the management of the site. Among those irregularities, the statement listed the destruction of the Margarita Tomb in 1988; the theft of a piece of Copán jade from an exhibition Mexico in 1999; and as recently as September 14 this year, the theft of yet another priceless piece of jade from the Museum of old Presidential House in Tegucigalpa – immediately opposite the National Congress building, and under the very nose of the government. To add insult to injury, the theft of the jade treasure in 1999, although aesthetically priceless, was compensated by an insurance pay-out of L.1,800,000 - not one centavo of which was ever received by Copán Ruinas. The statement from the Town Council proudly proclaims ‘the majesty of the Mayan heritage’ exhibited at Copán Ruinas, and expresses the desire for the site to become ‘Honduras’ window of tourism for the world.’ Visiting the site earlier this week, Honduras This Week was given a vivid comparison by Julio, one of the site’s excellent guides: ‘If Tikal in Guatemala, is the Mayan New York, then Copán, with its smaller buildings but more beautiful achitecture and sculpture, is the Mayan Paris, or Athens.’ Fiercely proud of its heritage as the town of Copán Ruinas is, it calls upon President Ricardo Maduro, ‘given the love that he professes for this humble city,’ to show some more concrete evidence of his passion. It demands an urgent inquiry into the management of the site over the last ten years; the immediate return of all archaeological artefacts removed from Copán for exhibition elsewhere; and most challengingly of all, the distribution of the site’s considerable annual takings in ‘a more just and equitable manner.’ Here, the Town Council would seem to have a particularly strong case. Professor Oscar Cruz, of Copán Ruinas´ Anthropology Department, told HTW that ‘the site now receives 150,000 visitors a year, and it’s increasing by another 10,000 each year.’ That represents a very substantial income of L.10,000,000 per annum. Rather surprisingly, none of this goes to the local people – whose direct ancestors, after all, built those magnificent temples and palaces on the banks of the Rio Copán. Ironically, Copán is generally perceived as wealthy in economic terms, with US$ flooding in from foreign tourists. But in reality, it remains the third poorest region in western Honduras. Currently, 60% of its rural population have no access to clean drinking water; 40% have no access to even basic health care; child malnutrition runs at 55%; and even having survived infancy, one child in 20 will still die before eleven. Precious few Yankee dollars ever filter down to the campesinos of the nearby countryside, beyond the edge of town. Among its other demands, therefore, Copán Ruinas is also insisting that a minimum of 35% of the annual income from the site should be returned to local municipality, to tackle the acute poverty of the region. HTW has tried several times to contact a spokesperson at either the Secretaría de Turismo or the Secretaría Cultura, Artes y Deportes for a response to the increasingly angry war of words between Copán Ruinas and the Government, but without success. After several fruitless transfers, we were finally put through to an answer phone which told us to ‘call back later.’

| The Crisis of the Public Ministry By MIAH GIBSON Last Tuesday the Public Ministry of Honduras faced yet another strike. For more than two hours 400 employees of the ministry and members of the National Association of Attorneys blocked Tegucigalpa´s streets. Most dressed in black, representing the ´death´of the Public Ministry, and placed bandages over their mouths to symbolize the ´code of silence´ operating within it. Those who could speak requested three things of the Honduran Government: remove Attorney General Ovidio Navarro and his General Director Jaime Banegas, reinstate the dismissed attorneys, and bring certain corruption cases back into the courts. The issue has a complicated history. In 1994 then-employees of the Ministry also took to the streets, but with the aim of bringing to light twelve cases of corruption against high profile members of Honduras´ political community. Seven of these cases were against the ex president of Honduras, Rafael Leondardo Callejas. In a scandalous abuse of power the Attorney General intervened to ensure that these cases were dropped, and all information regarding the defendants was kept confidential. Many of the offenders are now presidential candidates or members of congress. Ten District Attorneys who spoke out against this cover-up lost their jobs, and another seven were transferred to remote areas of the country. Others who retained their jobs were forced to work under constant surveillance: microphones and video cameras were installed in their offices, and unmarked cars or motorcycles often followed them home. In the last ten years many more employees have lost their jobs in an attempt to obtain justice for their sacked co-workers. Amongst the protestors last Tuesday was Elke Navarro, a District Attorney and member of the National Association of Attorneys, who lost her job on the 21st of October. Along with many of her co-workers, Elke was given just one day to remove her belongings and re-locate to the other side of the country, near the Nicaraguan border. The following day the dismissed attorneys held a protest outside the ministry, which was interupted by a bomb threat. All employees were ordered to evacuate the building while police uncovered the ´bomb´ - an oversized wrist watch. General Director of Attorneys Jaime Banegas was quick to place the blame with those protesting outside the ministry. Interestingly though, he and Attorney General Ovidio Navarro were the only ones who declined to evacuate the building. Since then Elke´s dismissal has thankfully been withdrawn, but her job is still on the line. Nonetheless, she says she will continue to fight for her sacked collegues: "corrupt politicians are manipulating our destiny. Our message today was that we will not accept what they are doing."

| Handicapped in Honduras
By EMMA HAWA A report published by Pan American Health Organization this year estimated that more than half a million inhabitants of Honduras display some degree of physical or mental disability. It is evident that the handicapped in this country face some form of social exclusion whether it be in terms of opportunity, access to basic services, education, employment or the judicial system. Mr. Jose Martinez, going through life without one of his arms and either of his legs because of a tragic train accident, reached the point where he wanted to kill himself. Honduras This Week discussed the available facilities for the disabled in terms of employment and transportation, to which he explained that “they can facilitate, they just don’t choose to…Sometimes they refuse to take me…I am seen as an inconvenience.” Those who are unable to pay for services are ignored by the medical system. Martinez complains the weight of his prosthetics is destroying his spine and those made of resin in San Pedro Sula, of such quality as not to further immobilize him, are unattainable – as a poor disabled Honduran, he goes unrecognized. The Mayor of San Pedro Sula, Oscar Kilgar, made an offer to Martinez to buy him new prosthetics. Obviously delighted by this kind gesture, Martinez made several trips to visit him, taking time off from his work on the streets, but never receivedthem. When Honduras This Week went to speak to Martinez he said, “Nobody helps me, no government is going to attend to my situation; you are the only one to ever approach me”. Carlos Flores, former President of Congress once stopped his car by Martinez in the street. He told Honduras This Week, “Instead of offering me money, he gave me a cigar.” When the current President Ricardo Maduro worked for Central Bank, he too stopped in his car to talk to Martinez whenever he saw him begging. However Martinez, not ungratefully, went on to explain that the President would produce general chitchat making use of conversational formalities whilst handing over never more than five to ten Lempira. Even so, appreciative of Maduro’s mediocre displays of good will, Martinez visited him on three separate occasions to pass on messages through Maduro’s secretary concerning his health care, and not once did he receive a response. Shortly after the accident, at the fragile age of 18, Martinez thought his life was over until Mr. Donald Watson from the Minneapolis Southwest Lions’ Club took him to the US where he spent two years in rehabilitation. The MSLC provide humanitarian service in any way they can to organizations and individuals that need their help. Now 28 years on, he has
a long term partner, Maria Louisa Garcia and three grown children
all of whom are in full time education and have always been extremely
supportive of Martinez’s condition, despite the atrocities
they have all had to face consequently. As a small child, his son
would push him around to help him beg for money. Whilst out on the
streets, the father and son found and helped a young man named Jose
Umberto suffering from a drug addiction. Martinez’s son helped
him to improve his life and to stop taking the drugs over a period
of three years, and now it is Umberto who is paid to push Martinez
around. The two of them can be sighted regularly on Juan Pablo II,
outside the Marriott Hotel, begging for money. For the course of
the interview, Honduras This Week took Martinez and Umberto inside
the Marriott Hotel who were extremely hospitable and the general
manager, Carlos Chimal, paid for two full meals for the men. After the country was hit by the devastating Hurricane Mitch in 1998 the Martinez family, along with thousands of other Hondurans and Nicaraguans, were left homeless. The Spanish Embassy provided many homes for those who were victim to the natural disaster of which Martinez was fortunate enough to be one. However, he said “My trouble is money”. Martinez is out on the streets of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador all through the day and night, begging for the money he needs to support his family, meaning he is never able to spend time with the people who bring the only worth to what is left of his life. However, he wasn’t always a beggar in the street. Martinez used to wash cars for a living, but his prosthetics rapidly became damaged with the water and so his partner Garcia turned to her good friend Merinden Don Pepe for help. Don Pepe donated a wheelchair to Martinez and clearly aware of the discrimination such people are faced within this country, presented work on the streets as the only option for a man missing three of his limbs. It became more and more apparent throughout the interview that this is far from the case. Martinez revealed his abilities to drive, bike ride, horse ride and even to make swimming pools. When asked why he remains on the streets despite his clear capabilities, he explained that he has applied for several jobs in the past but the salaries offered have been lower than the amount he can earn on the street. Martinez told Honduras This Week, “People treat me like an animal. They don’t see me as a human and so feel they can take advantage, hence offering me such low salaries…I do not beg for material things, nor anything for me, it is all for the future of my children. My dream is to see my son grow up and have a profession, then God will take me away.” At this point Martinez became slightly distressed as he explained how ashamed he is to beg. Martinez went on to say, “I hate the street. I don’t want to be on the street anymore. Please get me off the street.”
By MIAH GIBSON Last Tuesday (26th) the Department of Health released its National Report. Health Minister Elías Lizardo Zelaya launched the Strategic Plan for the Health Sector to 2021 and the Government Health Sector Plan 2002-2006 as President Ricardo Maduro looked on. The main objectives of these projects are to increase the number of health services offered to the public and to make the current services function more effectively. Among the specific recommendations in the 2002-2006 plan is a more direct focus on diseases caused by malnutrition, which currently affect 33% of the population. Infants and children under fourteen are particularly vulnerable to the effects of malnutrition. In order to address this issue, a project entitled The Strategic Reduction of Poverty was created in 2002, which aims to significantly reduce infant and maternal mortality by 2006. The project has been
supported by USAID and several other international organizations,
and involves monthy visits to the doctor for children living in
high risk areas of the country. The purpose of these visits is to
check that the child is healthy and has access to basic needs such
as food and clean water. For example,
contrary to popular belief, the mosquito that carries dengue fever
breeds in clean open water storages, common in most urban areas,
rather than in contaminated or stagnant water. These educational programs seem to be working. According to a survey published in El Herado last week, 80% of Hondurans now realise that they must take the biggest share of responsibility in preventing dengue fever. This is the third report on health to be released in the last three years, but according to Mr. Lizardo, the initiatives outlined in this report stand a much greater chance of success: “the trends are much more evident now. We have tested the effectiveness of certain programs and are now very clear about what our strengths and weaknesses are”. One of the greatest weaknesses, says Mr Lizardo, is the current lack of a national urbanization policy to cope with increasing unplanned urbanization. He believes that the Government should create a law stipulating that houses must have solid rooves, walls and floors, access to clean water, and a means of collecting waste. “People move from the countryside with their bad habits. In rural areas your neighbour is a long way away, in urban areas your neighbour is separated from you by a sheet of newspaper. The problems of disease are compounded...we need to enforce a healthy house policy.” One of the strengths of the health sector is in AIDS/HIV treatment. According to Mr. Lizardo, the number of patients receiving treatment has increased from none in 2002, to 2700 up to 2004. Treatment is also more wide-spread, being available in 12 different regions in Honduras. Two of these regions are home to Garifuna communities. The plan to 2021 aims to build on this success, expanding access to treatment and raising awareness about prevention.

The Fifth Annual Conference in Honduras By DON PEARLY In covering any event a journalist will try to find out the Who, What, When and Where of the project, and at the same time try to uncover the human interest angles as well as trying to direct attention to those readers interested in finding out more. The WHO in this story might begin with Mr. Marco Caceres, one of three founders of the conference, and the one who has been the most influential in it’s direction. His co-founders were Paula Bendana and Jessica Villeda. Since its inception, Marco has taken an extremely active part in each and every phase of its endeavors. Mr. Caceres was the main moderator and like a new parent never stopped overseeing these fifth years’ presentations. He describes their web site www.projecthonduras.com as a great big electronic bulletin board that has taken on a life of its own. The WHAT would
be the bringing together of as many of the organizations and individuals
who have a burning desire to assist t he country of Honduras in its
growth and development. The conference was this year directed at problems
and solutions concerning health, education and community development
and tried to keep out of many other subjects such as corruption and
politics. Mr. Caceres told this newspaper they have over 4,000 participants who follow their web site activities at www.projecthonduras.com, and that as many as 300 individuals are very active. Day and night, week after week the networking goes on electronically, and to judge the progress made by this process is impossible however, many wonderful things have evolved over the past years. No where but here do so many individuals and organizations have the opportunity to chat and share experiences or ask for assistance with a particular problem. This is organizing the scattered efforts of so many organizations and individuals with a truly common cause, allowing them to become more focused and more united, and therefore more effective. One of the main themes this year was the word SUSTAINABILITY. It was woven into many of the speaker’s messages and for good reason. To give a service or a gift of any kind to a needy recipient and then immediately disappear does relatively no good at all, and can in fact actually do some harm. But to give that same service or gift along with instructions on how to use it toward attaining something even better can produce very positive results. The age old saying
of “Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a time but teach
a man to fish and will help him for the rest of his life.” Was
the hidden theme of this convention. There were too many worthy organizations
represented to speak about all of them however two stood out. One
was the Adelente Foundation (see separate article) and the Polo Gallindo
Clinic (see separate article) and the CAMO group (see separate article)
as they all may boast enviable SUSTAINIBILITY records. The Highlight
of the Convention This man immediately captivated the audience with his charm and candor. He told of how a while ago he was assigned the position of Administrator and given a set of keys to a hospital. With great anticipation and eagerness he went to the establishment only to find an empty facility. He immediately began contacting people registered with Project Honduras, asking for help with everything one can imagine. The help came and the Captain was in business. He arrived in
Copan this year to again put out his hand, but not for more assistance,
but to offer his help to this same organization. To this writer, who
last year heard someone from this group ask a government representative
why the departure taxes were levied on charitable organizations coming
to Honduras to help were so high, only to be told, it is due to the
corruption in our country, we must generate income some way, this
was a major breakthrough. |
