LOS ANGELES — Club Honduras International held its first event outside of Honduras on July 12, 2026, at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International in Hollywood. The event was dedicated to celebrating Honduran Indigenous women, descendants of the Mayans and other native Indian peoples. Organizers intend for the celebration to become an annual tradition, providing an opportunity to honor the contributions of Honduran Indigenous women and increase appreciation for the country's rich cultural heritage and traditions.
The program featured traditional music and dance performances, a theatrical presentation highlighting the lives, traditions, and resilience of Indigenous Honduran women, and an awards ceremony recognizing Indigenous women and individuals whose work has contributed to preserving and promoting Honduras' Indigenous cultures. There were also many traditional work tools on display and the country's trade items — cacao beans and coffee beans.
During the event, the Consulate of Honduras in Los Angeles received a Commendation in recognition of its support for the Honduran community and its efforts to foster cultural awareness and engagement. The program also included an Award recognizing humanitarian and author L. Ron Hubbard for his book, The Way to Happiness, a nonreligious guide promoting values such as respect, honesty, and compassion, which organizers said has been shared in Hispanic communities around the world.
The Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International hosted the event and remains dedicated to fostering cultural exchange and promoting global harmony through meaningful events like these. The Scientology religion was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954, and the religion has expanded to more than 11,000 Churches, Missions, and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.
This news matters because it highlights the importance of cultural preservation and community recognition. By honoring Indigenous women and their contributions, the event underscores the value of diversity and the need to protect Indigenous traditions. The involvement of the Consulate of Honduras and the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International demonstrates a collaborative effort to foster cultural awareness and engagement. The recognition of The Way to Happiness also points to the broader impact of humanitarian values in Hispanic communities worldwide.
