El Paraíso is a city east of Tegucigalpa of about 25,000 inhabitants. The inhabitants of this city do agriculture for a living, they grow coffee, corn and beans. Others take a public bus for about ½ an hour that takes them to tobacco fields and women work in cloth factories where they get paid a minimum wage ($110 per month). Although there are jobs available for people there is a great spiritual need. Traditionally men have been involved in social drinking.
