It is with great sorrow that I pass along the news of the death of Santos Obdulio Moreno, known to his friends as El Catracho (The Honduran). Mr. Moreno suffered a heart attack on Thursday, August 7, 2008, and was lied to rest the following day.
Mr. Moreno paid off his first Partners Worldwide (PW) sponsored loan from In-Country Affiliate Diaconía Nacional (DN) in 2007, and had faithfully made payments on a second loan received to finance his metal workshop. Mr. Moreno's workshop produces gates and structural framework and is located along the main highway in Santa María del Real, Olancho, near the regional offices of DN.
Mr. Moreno had lived in the United States earlier in his life and enjoyed practicing his English with North American visitors. Jason Garrett, a student at Harvard Divinity School interning with PW and DN, had been visiting Mr. Moreno to provide consulting of administrative principals.
Surviving Santos Obdulio Moreno are his wife, a teacher at the grade school in Santa María del Real, and two children. Mr. Moreno and his wife attended a local church.
