| At this
moment, the Municipal Corporation is conducting a global
evaluation of the damages caused by the hurricane with
the purpose to complete the reconstruccion plan. Right
now there exist various prioritary actions like the
creation of macro-shelters, in which there would be
sheltered only those people that do not have the
possibility of returning to there old home or that lost
everything. Here they would impose the system of "
Food for Work ", so the sheltered join in the labors
of cleaning and other tasks the San Pedro Sula
Municipality is conducting, and in exchange for rations
of food and other articles. The reconstruction of roads, intense cleaning labors and the repairment of clean water, sewer systems and rain water are a priority to City Hall at these very moments. The recuperation labors are just starting, but thanks to the solidarity of the San Pedro Sula community we are sure that this ardous task of reconstruction will be completed with honor and dignity.
