In this continent, our advocacy efforts are mostly devoted to monitor the deplorable human rights situation in Colombia due
to the 50-year long internal conflict. In particular, we support grassroots Franciscans in their work with internally displaced
persons. We pay also attention to the conditions of extreme poverty in which many indigenous communities live in Central and
South America, especially in Honduras. We also continue to offer our solidarity to the landless movement in Brazil in order
to achieve a fair agrarian reform and a just redistribution of land.
New Horizons Franciscans International inaugurates its third office in Bangkok, Thailand. The office will serve the needs of the Franciscan Family working at the grassroots in the Asia-Pacific.
