Toncontin Airport: Highway or runway?
Caroline Knell &
Tess Gool
Honduras This Week
Photo: Marianne Goodale/Honduras This Week
 Toncontin Airport in Tegucigalpa is well known for being one of the trickiest airports in the world to land. So well known in fact, that one individual has actually taken the time to film a plane coming safely in to land at the airport and subsequently posted it on the video website ‘YouTube’ for everybody to see. Rest assured, however, only the best trained pilots are allowed to land at Toncontin Airport and in most cases, a safe landing will often receive a rapturous applause from relieved passengers.

“Memories of My Melancholy Whores” by Gabriel García Márquez (2005)
Todd Ellertson
Honduras This Week
 I have been on a little bit of a roll with Gabriel Garcia Marquez as of late, as those who have kept up with both my movie and book reviews might agree. In my defense, I only learned of his work and learned to appreciate his gifts to the world of literature recently, so, in my mind, I am making up for lost time! Nonetheless, I will make an effort in the near future to share my opinions on other worthy writers as well. For now, it’s another take on the Nobel Prize winning Colombian author.Full Article
The Myth about Volunteerism in Honduras
Marco Cáceres

Courtesy Marco Caceres/projecthonduras.com
Xavier Villeda of Tegucigalpa reads to children in the central plaza of Copan Ruinas.
Back in 2002, President Ricardo Maduro wisely established the Agency on Volunteerism. Its official name was the “Agencia Presidencial para el Voluntariado,” and its director was a businessman by the name of Otto Martinez. The mission of the agency was to promote volunteerism in Honduras and strengthen the organized participation of society in the search for solutions to community problems. Full Article
The Traditional Bio-fuel: Firewood, Part 1
Robert Conklin
Honduras This Week
Photo: Todd Ellertson/Honduras This Week
Wars, invasions and the deaths of millions: this is a high price for an addiction to oil. A power-outage can shut down 400,000 air-conditioners and turning tons of ice cream into pasty mush. Petro-Caribe alliances create hysteria. We respond to these. But who cares about firewood? The answer: at least three million Hondurans who use it everyday. Full Article
FARC: Rights for Colombian rebels?
James W. Bodden
Honduras This Week
www.google.com
 ‘El Comandante’ Chavez, buoyed by a fresh diplomatic victory in the Colombian prisoner for hostage crisis, launched a high-powered political bomb to the country’s conservative government: legitimize the narco-insurgency under the protection of the Geneva Conventions. The Venezuelan leader asked for a fundamental rearrangement of the guerrilla conflict’s narrative and the legal/operational framework under which the rebel forces function, “They must be recognized; they are insurgent forces that have a political project ... President Uribe, if you acknowledge the status of belligerent to the FARC, and the FARC accepts it, the protocols of Geneva would be enforced and the FARC would be forced to abandon kidnappings...” Full Article

Physical Therapist vs. SportsPhysical Therapist: What’s the difference?
Ivonne Van leest
Honduras This Week
As this is my first article about health issues and, as I am a certified sports physical therapist, I would like to start by explaining some basic terminology in my profession. If I were to ask you the difference between a horse and an animal, you would probably reply, “well, a horse is a type of animal, but not all animals are horses,” right? Now, let me ask you: what’s the difference between a physical therapist and a sports physical therapist? My response is similar to the horse scenario: a sports physical therapist is a physical therapist, but not all physical therapists are sports physical therapists and further, not all are able to treat sport injuries correctly. You might think the only difference is that sports physical therapists only treat sports-related injuries. That’s close enough, but there are some distinctions. Full Article
