Om programmet

In this volunteer program you support AIDS affected children or children living in poverty in a dayschool. This commitment to these children is important because children affected by AIDS are often excluded from society. This day school offers these children a place where they feel comfortable and receive a very good, bilingual education. The children are taught by the highest quality of teachers available and follow a Canadian curriculum in English as well as a Honduran curriculum for Spanish. All students will be actively involved in recycling projects, community projects and animal welfare projects. Many of the students come from impoverished, and often very stressful backgrounds so the school addresses that in many ways. The dayschool offers free breakfast and lunch program that all students are given every day. As the dayschool ist providing the meals for the students they will be taught nutrition and the school will be junk food free. 

The aim of the project is to create more equal opportunities and to create exchange and overcome cultural and language barriers. This project in social work is very versatile. 

In this program you will work with local people (for example honduran teachers) and international volunteers. Working with Hondurans will give you a deeper insight into their culture and their way of working. The intercultural knowledge exchange enriches the Honduran teachers in the institution on the one hand and you as a volunteer on the other hand. The official language on Roatan is Spanish. However, all children are taught bilingually and therefore speak Spanish and English. In order to make a valuable contribution to the program, you will be expected to demonstrate proficiency in English and/or Spanish. 

We expect our volunteers to show interest in Honduran culture, contribute their own ideas, and show empathy for Honduran children. On the Caribbean island of Roatan, the clock ticks a little slower - so it is an advantage if you can patiently adapt to the new culture and way of life. You do not need to bring your own equipment. 

To help you settle in quickly on Roatan, you will receive all the important information at the beginning of your stay. We will accompany you the first days and introduce you to your new colleagues. In case of questions or uncertainties you will always have a contact person. 

Participation in this project can also be credited as a (compulsory) internship.

After school you help preparing lunch. In the afternoon you organize various leisure activities. A big part of your work is to be there for the students. There are no limits to your creativity here. Maybe you have special knowledge and hobbies (e.g. in the field of music or sports) that you would like to pass on to the students. You are welcome to contribute your skills .

Om projektet

We are a small non-profit organization specialized in volunteer projects and internships in Honduras.

Mød din vært

Many years ago, we founded our non-profit organization SWHO with the aim of offering volunteer work and internships in Honduras and thereby promoting cultural exchange. The abbreviation SWHO stands for SWitzerland - HOnduras. By living with a host family and working with the local people, our volunteers get to know the Honduran culture. 

Volunteering in one of our projects in Honduras offers a win-win situation for the Honduran people, as well for the volunteers. An in-depth insight into the health or education system, the diverse wildlife, etc. offers the collaboration in local organizations together with the Honduran people. 

Honduras is still unknown to most people. We want to change this with our commitment to Honduras. Honduras offers several advantages: the beautiful and varied landscape and nature, the diverse flora and fauna, the hospitality of the Honduran people and a country that is not yet overrun by mass tourism.

Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Support is needed in many institutions. We have maintained a very good exchange with a lot of honduran non-profit institutions for many years. Support through volunteering is therefore always highly appreciated. As a volunteer, you help where help is needed. 

The individual support and advice of the volunteers before departure as well as the organization of the volunteer projects based on the interests of the volunteers is particularly important to us. We are looking for the project based on the wishes and interests of the volunteers. This is possible since we are a small organization that works exclusively with Honduras. 

25 years ago, I was a volunteer in an social project in Honduras. When our organization SWHO was founded, the many years of experience as an organizer on the one hand and as a volunteer in a latin america country on the other formed the basis. 

Our strengths are our fundamental knowledge of the culture and conditions in Honduras, our many years of experience, our flexibility in finding volunteer projects, our personal contact and our professional and serious advice before leaving for Honduras.
