Re-launch of Suazo Córdova OC June 20, 2013<br />

In order to streamline the OC, it was re-launched with support from a partner<br />

church, the community organization and members of the community.<br />

As a result of the establishment of the OCs, it has been possible to provide other<br />

benefits to the target communities since the centers are an excellent community<br />

platform for other organizations, programs and projects, such as the following:<br />

FUNDEIH-MASECA Alliance<br />

During this period, equipment was delivered and the training process was initiated to<br />

establish 30 microenterprises dedicated to making tortillas with improved ecological<br />

stoves at the Nueva Capital OC in Tegucigalpa, and 20 micro-enterprises at the<br />

Japón OC in Choloma.<br />

There are plans to expand the agreement with the National Foundation for Honduran<br />

Development (FUNDEIH, Spanish acronym) during the next six months, and establish<br />

at least 25 microenterprises in each of the following communities where OCs are<br />

operating:<br />

o Las Pilas and Rio Blanquito in Choloma<br />

o Suazo Córdova, 24 de abril and San Isidro in San Pedro Sula<br />

o Armenia Bonito, Búfalo and San José in La Ceiba<br />

o Estados Unidos in Tegucigalpa.<br />

The Gildan Company<br />

During this period, personnel from Guildan, a major textile-garments company, visited<br />

the Éxitos de Anach OC in Choloma. As a result of the visit, the company has agreed<br />

to construct a multiple-purpose community court, which will be built next to the OC.<br />

Construction of the court will begin in July, and it will be formally presented to the<br />

community at its inauguration in August<br />
