Review for Honduras Child Alliance, Philadelphia, PA, USA
I just spent two months volunteering at HCA and I could have never imagined how impactful this work would have been! From the get go, most of the team welcomes you when you arrive, as all the volunteers and the volunteer manager live in the same house (and both volunteer houses are very close by). The environment is open to people from everywhere, and the community between volunteers is really strong! I felt very safe living in El Porvenir, which was only a 20 minutes ride away from a big city (La Ceiba) where you can find everything you might need!
The local team from El Porvenir is amazing, welcoming and very talented in what they do! The work at HCA is community-focused and has a long lasting effect on the kids they work with. Many of the local interns (teachers in class) were kids who went to class with HCA, and loved it so much that they decided to start working with them. The school program and the classes are organised and pertinent. This whole experience was really educative and eye-opening on community-centred work! I hope to come back to Honduras and HCA in the future :) I will never forget working with the kids, getting to know the local community and the friends I have been
