Volunteering in Honduras with Project Trust: October 2012

Welcome

Hi, thanks for visiting my page.

I am currently volunteering in Honduras for a year. Honduras is the second largest and second poorest country in Central America. I am living in Siguatepeque, a small city in Honduras. I am teaching English to pre-school children in Del Sol Montessori bilingual school and organising after school activities.

Project Trust is an educational charity that offers 17 and 18 year olds volunteering placements overseas.

Hi everyone! Just got my letter through today saying I've been selected to go to Honduras!

I will be teaching English to Primary- school aged children, and I can't wait to go! I will be going with a charity called project trust.

Here's some facts about Honduras:

Capital city: Tegucigalpa
Language: Spanish
President: Porfirio Lobo Sosa
Size: 43,000 square miles
Population: Over 8,000,000

Next challenge, raising the money! This weekend I'll be heading down to the Edinburgh reference library, so I can start writing to some trusts. I've got a few fundraising ideas, and I'll post on here event details as they happen.

In the meantime, anything you can give will be a massive help: donate here

Thanks for reading, and I'll keep this site updated.
