The Global Volunteer Network currently has opportunities to work with rural communities in the Central American country of Honduras. Volunteers can become involved with a range of projects, including childcare, teaching and building. Living with a Honduran family, and volunteering at projects in rural locations, volunteers will help a community in need while gaining a new perspective on life in Central America.
Teaching Project
Volunteer activities will include assisting the local staff as well as taking on sole responsibility of the classroom. The children are aged from 5 to 12 years old and volunteers may be allocated more than one grade to teach. There is no set curriculum for teaching English in rural areas, and volunteers should expect to come prepared with ideas for classroom activities. The level of English of the students is basic and volunteers will be teaching basic vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Volunteers may also be required to help in other areas such as computers or sports, or if they have an area of expertise such as mathematics, art or music.
For this program volunteers must be:
* at least 18 years of age
* be ready to work with locals and adapt to different teaching methods
* be self-motivated and able to work independently
* know at least basic Spanish or be willing to learn prior to leaving
