My followers invite me to visit Barrio Las Mercedes, one of the most feared neighborhoods in La Ceiba, Honduras. During the years of conflict in the past decade, 150 families left the neighborhood to escape the violence.
Many told me not to go to Barrio Mercedes for security reasons, but my followers in the neighborhood wanted to show me the positive changes and social projects they have created in the community. They wanted me to get to know their streets, try their foods and show the world that the neighborhood offers much more than its stigmas and labels. They assured me that violent conflicts between gangs no longer existed. I decide to go to meet its people and show you the current state of Las Mercedes.
Thank you to the parents, children, and staff of the GREAT program and youth outreach center for being the best guides!
