Yes! Cell phones have really made a big change in the life of the 
people here.  They may live in one room, dirt-floored shacks with no 
water or electricity, but the cell phones allow them to communicate 
across mountains as they never could before.  I'm sure they will 
never have land line phones in these remote communities, but there is 
a cell phone tower on top of the nearest mountain.  They can buy 
cards which give them a certain number of minutes at any of hundreds 
of tiny pulperias - 7-11 type stores.  A lot of the phones are 
discarded ones donated from the States and reconfigured for Honduras.
