ALIANZA JOVEN HONDURAS - USAID

In the Tegucigalpa area, the methodology was
applied in the communities of Nueva Suyapa, Bella
Vista, San Martin, Villa Adela, La Pradera, Nueva
Capital and Flor del Campo with the participation of
more than 700 children.
“Disarmed and Educated” Villa Adela, DC
The campaign was also carried out by the Choloma
chapter of JCVH in the Lopez Arellano community,
with 150 children participating, and in San Pedro
Sula at the Florencia and Francisco Morazán
schools, which benefited an additional 220 children.
Prevention Ambassadors
In order to increase JCVH membership on a community level and, at the same time to
involve organized young people from vulnerable neighborhoods in violence
prevention activities in their communities, an initiative called “Prevention
Ambassadors” was designed and implemented in the Nueva Capital and Bella Vista
communities.
During the next quarter the initiative will be carried out in at least four more
communities.
Decorating my Neighborhood (Choloma and La Ceiba chapters)
In order to transmit a message of peace through
visual images, murals were painted in the Lopez
Arellano neighborhood in Choloma, and in a public
sports field in the municipality of La Ceiba. The
activity also served the purpose of publicizing
JCVH’s activities and increasing the number of
volunteers at both chapters. In Choloma, the
municipal government was so impressed by the
initiative that they donated paint so that more murals
can be painted.

JCVH Television Program (Tegucigalpa and La Ceiba chapters)
During this quarter the television programs on the national TV channel were
continued. Six programs were produced, dealing with such issues as Risk Factors
Associated with Violence, Successful Youth (which highlighted the skills and talents
of young people), Unemployment in Honduras, Violence in the Media and Prevention
Ambassadors (a new JCVH initiative to organize cells of Youth against Violence in
vulnerable communities); there was also a program to celebrate the first anniversary
of the JCVH TV program production.
