Our summer intern, Scott, from the University of Maryland Business School, just returned to the US. He was called home by his family just before the coup. He maintained a wonderful blog during the month that he spent with Prisma Honduras. Lots of good narrative and pictures. Please visit the blog: http://summerinmicrofinance.blogspot.com
Our staff is doing well and all hope to return to work tomorrow or on Wednesday. Our General Manager observed that the international reporting was so one-sided with most interviews going to backers of Zelaya. She had hoped that there would be more balanced reporting with interviews of those who opposed Zelaya and how he flaunted the constitution and ignored the rulings of the Supreme Court. They do not consider it a coup - more like having removed a very bad egg before he destroyed the constitution.
Thanks to old friends like Julia, Laurent, Wolfgang, Claus-Peter, Jillian from France and so many others for your continued support. Despite political upheavals, poor people still need our support to create businesses which generate enough income to feed and educate their families.
