Projecto Honduras

Dr. Rose and his volunteer medical team of registered nurses helped at a nursing school. The school was founded through collaboration between Projecto Honduras, the local school district, and supported by medical teams. The nursing school now receives government backing. This nursing school is one of the career paths available for students, who assist at the clinic as part of their preparation for graduation from high school. The nursing students, dressed in green, help compensate for the reduced number of volunteer teams coming to Honduras by serving at the Projecto Honduras clinic.

When Projecto Honduras volunteer teams travel to small villages in the cloud forest, kids often hitch a ride. The experience is a significant event for the children, who eagerly jump on for the ride. This activity is one of the more enjoyable aspects of the team’s work, resembling a carnival ride for the kids, who have a great time during the outing. Note the poor condition of the roads, typical of remote, hard-to-access communities in the mountains. Volunteer team often have to navigate the rough roads to get to the people who are in need.

Severe poverty exists in the area where Projecto Honduras operates, which is considered one of the poorest regions in the world, according to the United Nations. There is a lack of basic amenities, such as bathrooms, running water, and electricity. Many homes are made of mud, and some communities resort to bartering goods, like honey, due to their financial struggles. The local population often relies on donations from volunteer teams for clothing, food, and medicine. Projecto Honduras provides these items as well as educational support to help address these challenges. The overall situation reflects significant hardship and need in the region.

Donations to Projecto Honduras help to meet the lack of these basic needs.
