Here is an update from Laurie Werner, Agros International Director of Program:

“I just spoke with the Nicaragua office and since the hurricane is projected to hit the coast and then travel to Honduras, they aren’t expecting significant impact in Nicaragua. They may, however, experience torrential rains in the region where the Agros village ‘Norwich‘ is located. The field staff are all out working in the communities as normal.

I also spoke with Victor (the Agros Executive Director in Honduras) and he said that they are in constant contact with the villages and have everyone working hard to harvest and store their beans before the hurricane can cause any damage. At this point, if the hurricane stays on track they only expect heavy rains. The hope is that the Hurricane will lose speed and velocity as it hits land and will pass through quickly with minimal damage.”
