Join the IFCO/Pastors for Peace Caravan to Honduras! April 2010 
The Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO)/Pastors for Peace is organizing an historic solidarity and humanitarian aid caravan to Honduras. It will be in support of communities and grassroots organizations that are addressing issues of health and poverty.
En route to delivering urgently needed material aid, the caravan will visit cities throughout the US and Canada to inform about projects of special need as well encourage a change in our foreign policy toward Honduras. The aid we carry will include educational and medical supplies. 
The caravan will be a demonstration of a people-to-people foreign policy in support of self-determination and sustainable development. This caravan serves as an example to our own government, which historically has supported policies that actively suppress grassroots movements for progressive social change in the region especially after the 6/28/09 military coup in Honduras. We believe that with this act of solidarity we can encourage the Obama administration to revise and change our foreign policy towards the people of Central America into one of mutual respect and cooperation on equal terms.                                  
We will spend 7 days in Honduras in fellowship with our poor, indigenous and afro-descendant brothers and sisters. The caravan will visit different communities and social projects such as the first Garifuna People's Hospital led by Dr. Luther Castillo.  Throughout these exchanges we will meet and learn from them at different levels about the problems caused by U.S.  foreign policy and the ways they have creatively responded with innovative projects which make health, culture, decent jobs, food and other basic human rights more accessible to the people.
