The school supports children of missionaries serving a rural and underserved area of eastern Honduras. The children are Miskito (indigenous) and Norwegian. Their parents serve the area as doctors, pilots, and youth ministers. The children are fluent in English. Classes are taught in English. The older students (6th and 7th grade) are using K12 curriculum.
Even though the number of students is small, you will be an important part of the team. Your service allows the doctors, for instance, to focus on providing better patient care.
