Who we are?
We are a family of teachers who have been serving and working for our community since 1998 we are pioneers of the first bilingual school in Ocotepeque Honduras.
Offering an education to children and their families who wants to learn English.
In Honduras all the bilingual schools are very expensive and families cannot afford it. Our mission with the school families is to help out the community to support and run this project with a simbolic payment.
We do not recive any help from the goverment to pay our staff from Honduras.
We also provide scholarship to children with low income and the teachers children Education.
What are we looking for?
*We are looking for two volunteers with good values, dedicated, creative, honest and sincere and wants to grow profesionally. English-speaking volunteers from around the world.
Organized and tidy person who takes care of their living space and all the things that we provide.
Who enjoy and share a second language with children and adults aspire to help them improve their English in our school.
This experience offers an opportunity for those who are in training teaching, certificated teachers or young students or have a positive attitude and good skills.
Someone Who can speak German or French or any other language it will helpfull.
Volunteers must accept the commitment to provide an exclusive, focused, security service for our institution.
*“You can also do a 30 min service in the school cafeteria if you wish. This is optional for those who love cooking or have experience as a cook.”
We like the idea of preparing healthy vegetarian meals for everyone.
We love the idea of learning about the food from your country, and we would love for you to explain the process of making a delicious traditional dish from your place and we explain you from us too.
*If you have any artistic talent, you are welcome to participate in painting, music, or dance. Our institution values the art of every individual.
About the area: You can go hiking in the mountains in your free time.
We have well maintained paths and beautiful viewpoints, There is alot of coffee plantation to see too.
The school provides a route where you can have the opportunity to learn about all the coffee process.
Ocotepeque is a small town, it has everything you will need here: shops, fresh fruits and vegetables, parks, gym, movie theatre, restaurants, coffee places and delicious street food! Ocotepeque is at the border of El Salvador and Guatemala, so it's easy to continue your travels from here and also travel there during the weekends.
It's a good place to dedicate some time to yourself, relax, and rest.
I look forward to hear from you!
Carol

Autres infos...
We have so many beautiful mountains here and it is easy to access Guatemala and El Salvador because our quiet little town is located around a 10 minute drive from the border of El Salvador, and around 25 minutes from the guatemalan border. You will have fun here and it would be an amazing cultural experience for sure!
What you can do in your free time:
There are many tourist attractions in the area which volunteers often travel to, including the Mayan Ruins at Copan, Guisayote Reserva, hot springs in Gracias Lempira, the famous church of Esquipulas (Guatemala), Santa Ana there is Volcano and a lake and La Palma in El Salvador,El Pital the high mountains of El Salvador, Guanaja on the Bay Island, Roatan, Utila ,Yojoa Lake, Pulhapanzak waterfalls and more. Also the mountains around Ocotepeque are nice to hike in. Make sure to bring adequate shoes for this (hiking shoes).
How to get to Ocotepeque:
The nearest airport is in San Salvador, El Salvador (El Salvador International Airport Sait Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdamez). From there you have to take a bus ($0.60) or Uber to the busterminal de oriente. And from there you take the bus 119 which costs $1.70 and gets you to El Poy (border of Honduras and El Salvador). The bus leaves from 4am to 5pm approximately every 30min. In El Poy you walk across the border and take another bus (15 HNL) or taxi (20 HNL) to Ocotepeque.
From San Pedro there are regular buses – including the Sultana and Congolon. Make sure you tell the company you are going to Ocotepeque and NOT the border.
If you come from Guatemala you will need to get the 'Rutas Orientales'. This route goes through a small town called Esquipulas. From there you can easily get to the border of Honduras and then to Ocotepeque.
Also In Guatemala there are alot turist places like Antigua Guatemala, Río Dulce, Panamá chelines, Atitlan Lake.
Once you have confirmed your place I can send you the google maps location.
The town has private and public health services. If you have your own world traveling insurance it will be helpful.
As a woman make sure to bring a supply of hygienic products, because they are hard to get here.
When you enter to Honduras you are going to have 90 days in the CA-4 Central America area. After the 90 days you can extend your visa.
