Regarding the political issues in Honduras, Global

Brigades is constantly monitoring the situation in
Honduras and are in touch with the Honduran govt
and U.S. embassy for consultation when it comes to
the safety of the students. The last brigade we had in
August went as planned (right in the middle of the
coup) and the students were safely transported to
where GWB works in the rural, mountainous areas.
