“It is the most beautiful experience of my life. The people of Honduras are the most beautiful, generous, kind, and loving that I have ever met in my life. Despite the problems that are present in Honduras, I did not feel uncomfortable or in danger at any time. Instead, I felt welcomed, comfortable, integrated into the community where I was. The impact they had on my life was unforgettable. I am preparing to return to Honduras.”
“It was a life-changing experience. As soon as we met our teammates, everything fell into place. We started teaching each other our native languages, sharing stories, and then the work began. With JLC, we traveled out to rural villages in Intibuca to try and discover what those communities needed and wanted from us. Some of our projects included working with physical objectives, such as building a children’s playground.”
“I volunteered with Jóvenes Liderando Cambios back in October – December 2013. It was a great experience to interact with these indigenous communities at a local level. During my time there, we worked on planting a food patch for the school children, women’s football training, and climate change awareness.”
“I volunteered with Jóvenes Liderando Cambios in 2013. The experience of learning about the Lenca community was enlightening because I managed to get to know them on a personal level. For me, this was the best part of my volunteering experience. My advice to new volunteers would be to focus on interacting with the local people as much as possible.”
“This opportunity made me the person I am today. From homestays in the rural communities to flower arranging classes hoping to empower women, to clay and papermaking, organizing medical brigades, learning Spanish words from children, and sharing the equivalent in English. I draw on experiences in my job interviews to this day and always will. I’ll keep telling tales from my time there. I would recommend the experience to anyone.”
