#PrayForGuanaja

A major fire on the Honduran island of Guanaja has destroyed dozens of homes and forced hundreds of residents to evacuate. 

At least three people were injured in the blaze, which began in the early hours of Saturday October 2nd, officials said.

It's unclear how the fire started.

Guanaja, with an area of just 19 sq km (7.3 sq miles), is one of the three Bay Islands of Honduras and its main income is from tourism.

Connect Global has set up a fund for all interested in giving to help rebuild.
