Typical Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks
Dates: multiple start dates year round

Description: Good with children?

For a country with spectacular jungle, a glorious Caribbean coast and sweeping national parks Honduras gets surprisingly few visitors. You should be one of the lucky few though and visit the colonial town of La Esperanza, high in the mountainous pine forests of the Highlands. As is the case in many rural areas, resources are limited and the staff are overworked, so an extra pair of hands will be most welcome. You'll help out at a local day centre giving the children the attention they deserve and generally helping to improve their quality of life. Like the kids, Honduras' beauty comes in small packages so you'll have time to explore it all! Don't forget we include our TEFL certification in the price to help prepare you.

Community Work with Children Outside Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Highlights: What were the highlights of your trip that you couldn't wait to tell your friends about?

"Honduras is a dazzling place and I had the most fantastic time here. The project was great and I had such a great in-country coordinator (Elisa) to help me. I'll come back as soon as I get the chance!" (Bryony Elbert)

Due to a very severe lack of funding, the school relies heavily on volunteer contributions. You can provide much needed enthusiasm, inspiration and practical skills in an environment where they really make a difference.

There are a wide range of potential activities for volunteers to get involved in. You may help with teaching English to the staff as well as helping support and teach workshops and practical skills in carpentry, pottery, working with natural fibers, sewing, blacksmith/welding, upholstery and cooking.

Qualifications: You need at least beginner Spanish, however the more you can learn before you go the better. As you will be working with orphaned and underprivileged children you will need to be very patient and understanding. In addition, a positive and enthusiastic attitude will help you get the most out of the placement.
