MAMA Project began in 1987 working in Honduras.
Now we also have a scholarship program in Haiti and have
begun work in Nigeria. We are vocal advocates
for severely malnourished children, a group that is often
abandoned. We firmly believe that God has not abandoned
them, and we cannot do so.
Take a minute to look at the information
that is available throughout our website. If you
have any questions, send us an email or give us a phone
call. We would be happy to answer questions for
you. Thank you for your interest in MAMA Project.
** A Reflection of the Honduran Coup
d'Etat**
by Dr.
Priscilla Benner

It is very disheartening to
see
the situation in Honduras taking a giant step backward. When
we hear of the elected President Zelaya being kidnapped out
of his home at night, by hooded armed military
men, and ambassadors from other countries being kidnapped, insulted and beaten,
we are reminded of a terrible violent era in
Central America that we had hoped was gone forever. We had good reason
to hope that Honduras was on a new path of
respect for human rights, rule of law, and
was now a real functioning democracy. We rejoiced when the military
finally, for the first time in history, handed
over power to the elected civilian President after Hurricane
Mitch, and now grieve to see that demonstration of national maturity being reversed.
For those of us who love Honduras and have
been fighting to see children there have a better chance to survive
and thrive, it is truly tragic to
witness the events of the past two days. We
hope that the situation will be rectified in the very near
future, and that more violence will not ensue. We hope
and pray that innocent people will not suffer as the wealthy
fight for more power and resources. We pray that Peace
and Justice will prevail, and that God's Will be done on
earth, in Honduras, specifically right now. We know that
God has no political preference and that he does not support
any mortal human as his chosen one, but he definitely
expects us to find the high moral path in our human activates,
including our power struggles and politics.
We have been closely
following the political situation in Honduras. We have
been in contact with our offices in Honduras. The
project in San Francisco is operating as normal. In San
Pedro Sula, the office has been open everyday but unable to
work in the communities. We hope that there will be a
peaceful solution quickly. If you would like more
information or have any questions, feel free to contact us at
our office. We will keep a close watch on the situation,
and will cancel trips it that becomes
necessary.
