The Long Road to Trujillo

We left San Pedro Sula for the long ride to Trujillo. The ride was made worse by the horrible roads. The weather was wonderful with the sun shining brightly for the entire ride. The trip was made worth while when we were greeted very warmly by some of the women of the Trujillo Rotary Club.


Church in Trujillo

They are a small club but very active. Some of their projects include a kindergarten, computers for a school, a playground for the kindergarten, reforesting the mountain to prevent errosion, a 36,000 gallon water shed to service the Garifuna community, a mobile library for children and a kindergarten for the Pech community.


Watershed Project

We were able to see much of the town including Fort Santa Barbara, the Pech community, and the Garifuna community.

On our first night in Trujillo they welcomed us with a wonderful dinner.
