JULY 2009
Horizons of Friendship has joined its voice to those of its partners in Honduras and many other sister organizations in deploring the June 28th military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of President Manuel Zelaya. Since the day of the coup, Horizons has maintained close communication with partners in Honduras: organizations that represent diverse sectors of the Honduran population including Garifuna communities on the Atlantic coast, rural women, small-scale farmers, and repatriated migrants and families of migrants throughout the country.
In response to the disturbing events in Honduras, Horizons has established a special fund to channel emergency assistance to partners in Honduras. The funds will be used to respond to specific needs of Honduran organizations including food and shelter, transportation and communication, urgent action outreach and legal defence.
