Tegu kits are made in Honduras – a poor country that American brothers Will and Chris Haughey are trying to help. They even gave the toy a Honduran name. Tegu is short for Tegucigalpa, the country’s capital. Since 2006, when the first blocks of Tegu saw the light of day, part of the money earned has been used to restore the forests of Honduras. Apparently, things are going well, the blocks disperse around the world, forests and jungles are growing. Back at the end of 2010, Tegu released sets in optimistic shades of green, brown and natural colors – the colors of the jungle. Some sets also contain yellow pieces – pieces of Honduras gold.
