Honduras coup effects PCDR

I was attempting to check up on the current Peace Corps status in Honduras. All I really know so far is that due to the golpe de estado (Coup-de-etat), the new training class that was scheduled to begin this week will now be heading to the Dominican Republic for a few weeks. They will begin language training as Peace Corps monitors the situation and receives further instructions from headquarters in D.C. As for the Peace Corps Volunteers serving in Honduras, I assume they are all safe and sound. A PCV from the D.R. (and Bay Area native) is currently doing a third year extension in Honduras so I will try to email and find out her end of the situation....

A situation that happens in a place most of us hardly ever think about (some may not even know where to look for it on a map) comes back around and effects us...Remember, we are all connected.

To the training class : Bienvenidos!
