Hello everybody:
My name is Carlos Solis and I have been a member of this list for some time
now. I have been following the discussion on the proposed project for
Mongolia which has been very interesting. I hope we get this kind of
exchange of ideas and opinions more often.
As you may know, my country, Honduras, has been terribly hit by Hurricane
Mitch. Our whole country has suffered the impact of disastrous floods and
land and mud slides which have destroyed almost all of our infrastructure
and crops. Apart form the many dead that the hurricane left, we are now
trying to cover the needs of thousands of victims who lost their homes and
are in great need of food and water, medicines, clothes, tents, and other
humanitarian aid. If members of this list wish to contribute to help our
hurricane victims, please see the address below:

Here you will find a list of various organizations that are accepting
contributions for assistance they or their local affiliates are providing
to victims of Hurricane Mitch.
Any contribution that you send will be deeply appreciated by my unfortunate
fellow country-men and women. Also, I will appreciate advice and ideas of
members of this list who have experience with small economies hardly hit by
natural disasters and their eventual reconstruction. Please share whatever
information you think might be useful for our situation.
Here, in Honduras, we are doing our best to get the country's economy
moving again and hope to overcome with hard work and patience the harsh
reality that has come upon us. Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
