NEWS FROM OUR PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL BODIES

 |
 Luz Estela Mejia Benavides It is with great sadness and regret that we learnt of the passing of our Dear Sk�lleague Luz Estela Mejia Benavides who was a long standing member of Sk�l International Tegucigalpa and was the International Sk�l Councillor for Honduras for many years. Sk�l was her life and Sk�l gave life to Luz. She brought happiness and friendship everywhere and she was an example of a Honduran who loved her country and a worthy citizen of the world. No doubt she will be missed and remembered by all her friends worldwide. |
