Poverty in Rural Honduras
Poverty, as the friendly man next to me on a bus to San Pedro Sula explained, is on a completely different level in Honduras than it is in the United States. This man kindly told me that so many people in the US don't realize the extent of "nuestra pobreza, our poverty". He said too many people are unaware of the how extreme it is, and how it infiltrates every part of a Honduran's life. Two of the biggest issues in regards to poverty that I observed in my time in Honduras were the issues of education and health care. In the following pages I present these issues through my personal accounts with the people who truly experienced this pobreza.
