Description: Unfortunately, the public health care system in Honduras is one of the worst in Latin America. There are very few good hospitals, and most middle class families are unable to afford them. Therefore, able volunteers in our Volunteer Honduras Health Project assist in local hospitals which are often poorly-equipped.

If you volunteer for this project, you will support local doctors and nurses in their work. You may also work in different capacities from observing to providing assistance in surgery, based on your skills and experience. Also depending on your skill level, you may help care for patients, check blood pressure, distribute food, and work in the pharmacy or with a gynaecologist. There is always work for volunteers in the public hospital and clinics in La Ceiba and surrounding areas.

Highlights: Volunteers teach in shelter homes, schools and orphanages to children aged 4-14 yrs old. Volunteers teach English, Mathematics and Science subjects depending on their ability.
