Good with children?
For a country with spectacular jungle, a glorious Caribbean coast and sweeping national parks Honduras gets surprisingly few visitors.
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.
