Cofradia Bilingual Center

The school is located in the lovely town of Cofradia, Cortes, near to the Carribean coast of Honduras. We aim to offer a top-quality, affordable bilingual education to our children and a level of community support and involvement that does not exist in the local public schools. Many of our kids come from very low socio-economic backgrounds and thanks to our volunteers we are able to offer them a free or low cost bilingual education they could not otherwise afford. Being bilingual in Honduras is a massive advantage and gives our kids the chance to end the cycle of poverty for themselves and for their families.

Our volunteers love working with the students at our school as well as the bond that is created between our teachers. At any one time we normally have between 4 and 6 volunteers teaching with us. Our volunteers typically spend the time after school together and often travel together at the weekends to the rivers in town.

I really enjoyed my time here! Cofradia may be quiet, but its unique charm offers a look into real life. The other volunteers did their best to prepare me for school, and the school staff greeted me warmly. While the school lacked organisation, I know Ariel is doing the best he can with the resources he has.
The children of course leave a lasting impact, it was a pleasure being able to teach them.
Embracing ambiguity with an open mind is important, in summary you really get what you give out of this experience.

My time at the school was great! Ariel is a fantastic person who cares a lot about the kids and the volunteers. He always makes sure that everyone is comfortable, safe and that the house is working. The school activities can be tough, expecially for a first-time teacher, but with careful lessons planning it's fine.

Doing a month of volunteering at Cofradia Billingual School center was amazing. You really get to experience the local life style and emerge in the Honduran culture. Cofradia is a little town outside of San Pedro Sula. Not a lot of tourism (if any) but that just makes the experience truly unique. The kids and teachers are wonderful. Mr. Ariel always made sure that me and the other volunteers had everything we needed and felt safe. Mr. Ariel speaks great English so if you don’t speak Spanish it is not a problem. It will make your stay easier when you know a couple frases, but I didn’t
