DESCRIPTION:Victor Hugo Tejada will be speaking about the current situation in Honduras 
 and in his city. Víctor is the young, energetic mayor of Las Vegas, Santa 
 Bárbara, Honduras, who will be visiting the Bay Area and Santa Cruz this 
 April 22 to May 1, sponsored by the Berkeley SHARE Foundation. \n\nMayor 
 Tejada seeks to strengthen relationships he established over the past few 
 years when delegations from this area visited him in Honduras when he was a 
 teacher under persecution by the government Juan Orlando Hernandez. As a 
 teacher, he suffered several attacks including injuries to his body. As his 
 life was at risk he was ready to migrate to the US.\n\nThen elections came 
 and his community nominated him to run for mayor. He was elected with 
 overwhelming support. As a mayor, his message to fellow young people in 
 Honduras is “let’s work together and create conditions to stay and not 
 migrate.”\n\nWhen SHARE asked him how to support him, Mayor Víctor Hugo 
 responded saying, “by helping our schools get guitars and violins.” 
 This will be the symbol of the new Honduras to move on from the days of the 
 dictator JOH, now in jail in the US.\n\nMayor Víctor Hugo is cultivating 
 friendship with the city of Berkeley for a sister relationship. He is also 
 looking for investment in his municipality.\n\n\n
