The Project Honduras Conference
organized by Marco Caceres is a fantastic networking tool for organizations working in Honduras.

 The website for Project Honduras is:  http://projecthonduras.com/conference/ .

The Conference on Honduras 2009 will take place in Copán Ruinas during September 24-26, 2009 at the Municipal Conference Center beside the town's central plaza. The event will be presented byprojecthonduras.com and sponsored by Special Missions Foundation of Georgetown, TX, a 501 (c) (3) organization. The focus of the conference is education, healthcare (including HIV/AIDS and clean water), and community building (including micro-credit and caring for orphaned children). The aim is to present and exchange information on current and proposed grassroots projects to empower the people of Honduras. We want to figure out how to improve and expand these efforts, as well as inspire people to go out and get involved. The focus theme of our tenth annual conference is Mobilizing the Youth of Honduras to Change the Country.

Guf and Mary Guffey and Brent and Doris Brady represented AHMEN last year.  We are hoping some folks from AHMEN will want to go again.  If you are interested, it would be invaluable to AHMEN.  Hopefully, Doris and Brent will join you in representing AHMEN at  this year’s conference.  There will be hundreds of folks there who have all sorts of projects in Honduras—clinics, orphanages, and schools as well as agricultural and reforestation projects.
