Om programmet

Volunteer at a local, public elementary school or day school for HIV-infected children on the Caribbean island of Roatan. The location can be chosen by the volunteer. In case of a longer stay, both locations can be combined. Help children learn and develop creatively by teaching them language, communication and other basic skills. 

On Roatan, all children must attend school. However, the quality of education for the poorest remains largely substandard. Public schools often lack the necessary financial support from the government to provide a free and good education, especially for children from poor backgrounds. The group or class size in the public schools is sometimes large. Individual help for the children is therefore hardly possible. In addition, many children come from families with problems such as poverty, abuse, illiteracy and unemployment. As a result, students lack attendance, have behavioral problems, and are malnourished and unable to concentrate in class. 

The School for HIV-infected Children aims to provide access to education for these children (often excluded by society) and to combat literacy rates. Classes are conducted bilingually. Roatan is a Caribbean island and thrives on tourism. Speaking English is a requirement for many of the jobs. After class, which is mainly in the mornings, all of the students are 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 this in many ways. The day school provides free breakfast and lunch to all students. Because the day school provides the meals for the students and also involves the students in preparing them, they are also taught healthy, low-cost nutrition.

The local children are warm and loving and would rather spend their time playing than learning! Get the kids excited about learning and support them through the day-to-day challenges of school. The children will be happy to see you. 

Volunteers bring energy and new experiences to the classroom. They help local teachers maintain order in the classroom and give students more individual attention, especially those who fall behind in class. They share their culture and skills and help children learn about new ideas.

Volunteers are expected to have a big heart for children and a lot of patience. On the other hand, the volunteers will gain many new experiences in a new culture and will receive a lot of attention and affection from the children. 

The aim of this project is to support children on Roatan in their school education and to open their eyes to cultural diversity.

Typisk dag

Volunteers help local teachers maintain order in the classroom and give students more individual attention. In this way, the children are cared for more individually and the teachers can better respond to their needs. 

Usual work days at the primary public school are Monday through Friday 7:00am - 12:00pm or 1:00pm - 5:00pm and include the following activities.

  • Assisting teachers in the classroom 
  • Ability to teach a class without supervision 
  • Assisting the slower students 
  • Contributing to activities according to your own interests
  • Encouraging and inspiring the children to pursue an education.
  • Being a second point of contact for the children in addition to the local teacher.

At the day school for HIV infected children usual work days are Monday through Friday 7:00am to 3:00pm. In the mornings, the tasks are identical to public school. The difference is that the children have lunch at school. You support them during lunch time. In the afternoons, you do sports activities with the children, dancing, singing, or organize various workshops on different topics. You are welcome to contribute creatively with your skills to teach the children something new or to promote them in particular. Your own ideas are also welcome. They pass on their culture and skills and help the children learn new ideas. 

Through your participation in the school, you are committed to the benefit of Honduran children. Education is one of the most important ways out of poverty. You contribute your ideas and can impart important skills and knowledge in a playful way. In addition to teaching, cultural exchange is not only an enrichment for the locals. You too can learn a lot from the wonderful people of Honduras.

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.
