El Progreso Awaits

This summer I will be setting off on a new journey to El Progreso, Honduras, to work with a migrant rights group based there. COFAMIPRO organizes Honduran families to fight for policy changes that protect the human rights of Central Americans during their journey to the US. They also offer support and assistance to family members of migrants. Read more about the organization here.

I'm looking forward to this opportunity to learn more about the impact of US and Mexican immigration policies on Honduran families. I'm certain that I will be challenged and will learn a ton from everyone around me.

I hope you will join me! I will be publishing weekly posts with news about my experiences and the situation in El Progreso. Sign up to follow the blog, or check back regularly.
