Risks and Rewards
Written by Eve Horowitz Wednesday, 25 January 2012 10:19
This is such an important article. The hysteria and hype about Honduras is only adding to a downward spiral and it is important to spread the word that although there are certainly risks in Honduras, the reasons to come and help, far outweigh the reasons to stay home and worry. I am a director for a small NGO working in the town of El Porvenir, just east of La Ceiba. We currently and regularly have 16 international volunteers in-country (from everywhere from Slovakia to Germany to the US and Canada). We are careful and do not take our safety for granted but we have had very few problems. Hondurans are some of the kindest and friendliest people I have ever met. Our volunteers benefit from spending time in our community equally as much as the children benefit from the programs that the volunteers are staffing.
