The Voice of the Indigenous Lenca People of Western Honduras. La Voz
Lenca is one of only three high power AM radio stations in this
hemisphere wholly owned and operated by indigenous people.  It
presents the Lenca's positions on national and local issues,
 educates,
entertains and advocates for underserved people in its region of
service.  It was built in 2007 with a massive cooperative effort
between the Lencas and international solidarity from community media
advocacy supporters in Mexico and right here in Illinois as well as
businesses which contributed equipment for the construction.  Bill
Taylor is heading back to Honduras in a few weeks to help install
equipment upgrades.

Come to find out more about the project and to find out how you can
get involved!
