I visit Santa Rita, a small town in Honduras where MS-13 and Mara 18 street gangs are involved in a bloody turf war. There were so many homicides there in recent years that over one hundred special forces officers from the Honduran police had to intervene to battle the gangs.
25+ former students from a local school that we're working with have been murdered over the years.
However, as you'll see in the video, what I experienced in Santa Rita was far different from what I had expected. During my day-long experience, I meet teachers, students, parents, food vendors, and entrepreneurs. I eat all kinds of exotic foods. I ride a canoe to cross a river, forget my backpack in the central park, ride a mototaxi, and visit the famous hot springs of Santa Rita.
