A CUSO International volunteer embarks on a 2 year project and adventure as a "food security advisor" in rural Honduras. What is development? How can a North American education and perspective benefit or hinder Central America? How will my knowledge and perspectives be changed and benefitted by living in Central America? How often will I get to salsa dance?
WTF Honduras?!
Top 10 Honduran WTF Moments
CHICKEN ON A STRING, tethered at a booth selling hammocks. Practical food security at it's best!
AWESOME "TV Agro" CHANNEL that gives 24/7 information and technical advice on a broad range of agricultural topics. Kicks the shopping network's ass.
30 MINUTES PRAYER & HYMN SESSIONS at Monday morning staff meetings.
KNEELING DIRECTLY ON TILE floors and singing hymns (plural) in this position at Catholic Mass. Ouch. Double ouch.
ONLY THE MEN ARE SEARCHED for weapons and contraban. The women are ALWAYS waved straight through. So, I just always carry my bf's gun for him. (Sarcasm)
THE EQUIVALENT OF SMILING WALMART GREETERS with shotguns in grocery stores. "Have a nice day."
BATTERED SCHOOL BUS WITH NEW FLATSCREEN for public transport, playing mullet-ridden 80's pop videos. Greyhound is indeed a luxury ride.
PASSING ON BLIND CORNERS. Enuf said.
A BUS SO FULL that the driver's assistant rode outside, hanging on the front of the bus, directly infront of the passenger wheel. Full speed ahead on a curvy, dirt road!
SIGNS OUTSIDE THE BARS READING, " Guns prohibitted. Less violence, more party."
