During this period, new methodologies such as the Virtues Project and the OC
Support Committees (Comités de Apoyo) have been introduced to the OCs. Also, the
implementation of gymnasiums as micro-enterprises is in an advanced stage of
development and will soon be rolled out in a significant number of OCs. AJH
continues to share OC methodologies with partners and has intensified its
relationship and exchanges with UNAH, which is now included in the indicator.
Furthermore AJH has started to work with World Vision, which is very interested in
learning from the OC experience and expects to also work closely with CESAL.
Below is a description of some of the methodological transfer made:
1) PNPRRS (National Prevention Program)
This quarter an agreement was signed with PNPRRS for the implementation of the
Familias Fuertes program in 3 OC communities, benefiting 10 families in each
OC/community. The communities selected were Flor del Campo, in the Central
District, Cofradía in San Pedro Sula and San José in La Ceiba. The implementation
of the Familias Fuertes program has experienced some delays. Discussions also
began with PNPRRS about the possibility of implementing, in alliance with UNFPA
and other organizations, some of the prevention campaigns executed by AJH in 2011.
2) FHIS (Honduran Social Investment Fund)
In addition to the collaboration from FHIS for equipping 6 OCs and providing
sustainability grants to another 5, AJH worked closely with the institution in the
inaugurations of the Asla Wapaia, Armenia Bonito, Búfalo, and Las Pilas OC
buildings. FHIS personnel also participated in the Volunteers Workshop that took
place in Bosques de Zamprano with the OCs of the Central District. There have been
several meetings to coordinate work with FHIS and other partners.
3) FUNADEH
During this quarter further joint planning for the Social Responsibility event with the
Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Cortés took place. A grant for FUNADEH to
facilitate the transfer OC methodologies was also signed during the quarter.
Meetings were held with FUNADEH for a subsequent AJH grant that will be made
available after July 2013, to allow the transfer of AJH personnel to work at FUNADEH
and also to increase the interaction between this organization and the OCs.
