Volunteer Group Opportunities in Honduras

Providing opportunities for volunteer groups to experience and be changed by the children of Honduras has always been an important part of the mission and ministry of Mission Honduras International. We have heard from many of you that you would like to continue taking your group to Honduras.

We are pleased to let you know that a team of volunteers researched and then visited three different Catholic mission organizations in Honduras this winter. All three organizations are equipped and willing to welcome volunteer groups to serve at their sites. Each site is within a couple of hours of Tegucigalpa, and each provides different kinds of opportunities for small to large groups. Two long-time groups have already set up their trips for this summer!

For more information on volunteer group opportunities in Honduras, please contact us at volunteer@missionhonduras.com or 773-809-4008.

Experience Life at Liberia Mission - June 28 to July 9, 2010

You are invited to experience life at Liberia Mission! This summer, you can visit and serve in Liberia, Africa. The purpose of the trip is too raise awareness about solutions to break the cycle of poverty and make our world a better one.

You will: Share your time with war orphans and the children living at Liberia Mission. You will work on projects to help children to be kind and compassionate leaders, working with both MHI and at least one other non-profit in Liberia. Activities include helping deliver goats and chickens to people in several villages currently struggling to feed their children. Participants will also have the option of helping disabled children live with dignity and working on life-saving projects to deliver clean drinking water.

In a sentence, you will have a life-changing experience while seeing first-hand how the cycle of poverty around the world can be solved.

For more information, call MHI board member Dave Dionisi at 530-554-7061. Learn more here.
