Partnering for Progress
Ervin is working on a project for chocolate production. He visited a hard working chocolate farmer friend of mine (Jimmy) from Cane Creek (and one of the community leaders of Bankukut). Jimmy has 50 chocolate trees at his farm.
Progress Tools is helping him with some transportation costs. I left a message for him to take to our Bankukut friends when he gets there.
To complete his master’s degree at URACCAN Ervin Hodgson is going to travel the length of Rama Territory.

Cane Creek is just southwest of the village of Bankukut. We visited farms up the creek a ways. My Rama friends tell me that this is the first time anyone has filmed the place. They produce cocoa, corn, cane, and other crops there. For me, our journey up Cane Creek was a deep spiritual experience […]
We just returned from a very productive journey to Nicaragua. We met with leaders in Esteli, Matagalpa, Bluefields, Rama Cay, Eagle Point (Bankukut), and the Cane Creek area.
>Many thanks to Elizabeth Gordon for visiting our Honduras Learning Center (managed by Tim and Jaclyn). She taught self defense classes and visited many poor people in several small villages.
>We are getting ready to re-brand our organization as “Progress Tools”.
>We purchased and are sending down 25 “birthing kits” with a friend who is taking a team to Rama Cay. Each birthing kit consists of a variety of disposable supplies for one childbirth. This is one way to reduce infant mortality and protect the young mothers from infection and other complications.
>We are looking forward to visiting our friends in Managua, Bluefields, and making new friends in Bankukut.
