Honduras talk


This Friday, at 11:45 a.m. in Conference Room 4000 (4th floor), of the Presbyterian Center, Elmer Zavala, a Honduran human rights activist, will show a documentary on the coup a year ago in Honduras, and will speak about the aftermath of the coup. Elmer is the spouse of Ellen S., who worshiped with their kids at Crescent Hill for a time last year. The coup, which deposed the president and set the stage for a crackdown on community groups and a very imperfect election, yielded calls for a similar coup against President Colom in Guatemala. Guatemala and Honduras are neighbors, and Soila, who was a mission worker at Crescent Hill in 2004, is from Honduras.
