Amid the turmoil and violence in
Honduras, amid the continuing controversy over the role of the US military and
Drug Enforcement Agency in the "drug war" in Honduras, amid the
continuing killings in the Bajo Aguán, here's a story that shows what Hondurans
can do.

| The church of San Marcos Ocotepeque, Honduras |
This week people in the parish of San
Marcos Ocotepeque worked to put in a water line for the parish’s formation
center. Over 800 people showed up to dig the four kilometer long trenches and
finished that work in one day.
They had only expected 350
and so ran short of food for lunch.
Another day was needed for the more complicated
work. The center now was water.
What an amazing act of solidarity and
cooperation.
José Romero, the director of Caritas of
the diocese of Santa Rosa de Copán, played a central role in the project since
he has had years of experience in water projects, mostly with the Honduran
office of Catholic Relief Services.
