Honduras continues its march towards the World Cup, having beat both Canada and Jamaica this week. From my understanding, one more win will guarantee a spot in the next round of World Cup qualifying matches.  Ramon Nunez (jumping, screaming) has caught fire, scoring three of the last four goals for the catracho (that's what they call Honduras) team.

MCC recently welcomed three new SALTers to the growing Honduras team. So far, Liz, Michael, and Rachel have settled in nicely, and after next week's team meeting will begin one year of service in their placements.

Liz will be working as a teacher near Tegucigalpa at the Montana de Luz orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS.

Michael will be in La Campa with the Mennonite Social Action Commission, working as an environmental educator/eco-tourism specialist.
Rachel will work in the Nueva Suyapa neighborhood of Tegucigalpa with Stewardship of Christian Ministries as a micro-loan specialist.
