My Experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras

This blog is about my service as a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV). The views expressed here are mine alone and do not represent the views of Peace Corps.

I arrived to Honduras in June of 2010 with 56 other volunteers in my training class: Honduras-17 (H-17). H-17 is comprised of three projects: Youth Development, Municipal Development and Protected Areas Management (PAM). I am an H17 Youth Development.  I was sworn in after three months of training with my fellow trainees.

I arrived to Danli in September of 2010, and have kept myself busy with several projects. (This is one of the reasons I am just now beginning a blog). So I work with three different counterparts: the school district, an elementary school for kids at social risk and COMVIDA - the office for youth and children. Besides training primary teachers in English and methodology weekly, I also work on projects at the Estancia Santa Gertrudis (elementary school for kids at social risk), and facilitate various trainings with the COMVIDA office.

I will write about the different work I am doing here, as well as write about my life as a Peace Corps volunteer.  Peace Corps service isn't just about the tecnical skills one brings to a developing country. It is also includes getting to know a new culture, integration, exploring new land, culinary adventures, and making new life-long friendships.

I will write about my different adventures as often as possible, so look out for upcoming entries!
