the corruption in government, preferential treatment of the rich
minority and endemic, lasting poverty affecting up to 80% of the
population.  Children in poverty are at risk, powerful gangs have
massive influence and power in Honduran society, and 60% of Central
American AIDS cases are found in Honduras.  Agriculture, services,
tourism and remittances account for most of the economic activity.
