Mission

Our mission is to give students a good command of the English language as well as a better foundation in academic subjects than is available in the Honduran public school system. For many this can be a real path out of poverty. Good English skills guarantee anyone in Honduras much better paying jobs. In addition a solid academic education, the practical life skills covered in some of our vocational workshops and agricultural programs will open many more doors for these young people as they continue with their life after school.

It is our vision to educate the most disadvantaged students along with those who have more money and would traditionally have very little interaction with the needy in their community. We strive to teach tolerance, understanding and true community spirit. We believe this to be the best possible way to promote real community development and thereby help all young Hondurans determine their own future together.
