How Students Helping Honduras Organization is Positively Impacting Lives


Posted October 29, 2018 by shhkids

Students Helping Honduras has provided many student volunteer opportunities that have seen many young individuals join the worthy cause. Additionally, 100% of the staff on the ground are Honduras citizens.

 
Honduras is one country in the world with the worst gangs and crime rates in the world. It is saddening that every year, thousands of young kids join or are recruited into dangerous gangs such as the MS-13 and Mara 18 respectively. An analysis of countries in the western hemisphere points out that Honduras is the second poorest country with 66.2% of residents wallowing in poverty. However, all hope is not lost. When there is adequate provision of quality education, and job openings, the people in this nation can counter the crime, poverty, and illiteracy levels.

SHH core mission is to eradicate high poverty levels and crime rate in the western hemisphere nation through the provision of education and empowerment of the youth. SHH provides international volunteer opportunities where you can participate in this worthy course. The organization is focused and passionate about developing Honduras differently. It has spent years learning from mistakes, helping the local community while at the same time remaining humble.

The organization clearly states that it does not invite international volunteers to perform development; instead, it advocates for learning. It opens up to young people across the world to understand the challenges associated with such type of work. However, it tries to point out how it can be possible amid these challenges to make an impact on the society that needs help the most.

“Two years ago, I wanted to be part of JMU club, meet new friends, and participate in a good cause through the process. In an involvement fair, I met with students participating in a good cause of helping Honduras. I immediately signed up never thinking how this would help change my life.” said Tiffany Comerford from James Madison University. She has been able to raise over $13,000 used to build two educational centers while undertaking her full-time studies.
