We got a call from our lawyer, Hector, today. We had two teams from Texas here recently and Hector spent quite a bit of time with them. Hector lives in San Manuel which is a town about five minutes from Hogar de Fe (Faith Home). Hector asks if he and his family can live at Faith Home for some time while they look for a new place to live. He tells us he's learned that since he has been spending so much time with the gringos (North Americans) his family is in danger of being kidnapped because people think they can get money by doing that.
There are quite a few kidnappings in Honduras and periodically people will be on the streets collecting money to pay a ransom to get a loved one back. They don't seem to be kidnapping gringos but only fellow hondurans.
(update - Hector and his family never did come live at Faith Home. Not sure why they changed their mind)
