With the support of Congress and the Courts, Honduran President José Manuel Zelaya was ousted by the military on Sunday, June 28. The Supreme Court and members of Congress deemed the president’s efforts to seek a second term illegal and unconstitutional.

Rest assured our child sponsorship agency staff in San Pedro Sula reports that our agency is operating normally and does not anticipate any disruption of benefits or services to sponsored children or their families. Agency director Blanca Estela Rodriguez described the mood of the city and the population in general as “calm.” Preliminary reports from the field indicate that all sponsored families appear to be fine as well.

We will continue to provide updates on Honduras as the situation progresses. For breaking news, alerts and the most up-to-date information on the areas that we serve please visit Children International’s homepage.
