A trip that opened my eyes
April 01, 2023by: Sophie Iacono - United StatesProgram: Help Build Schools in Honduras, Panama, or Guatemala
I feel past the fact that everyone knows they are going abroad to help build something and play with kids. Seeing the culture and getting to experience it was a main reason I wanted to go and glad I did. To see how this people live outside a textbook just shows life in different ways. Along with that I got to meet people other students that i’m still friend with today.
Amazing opportunity and very worth while!
April 01, 2023by: Julia Valcourt - United StatesProgram: Help Build Schools in Honduras, Panama, or Guatemala
I had a wonderful time on my trip and it was an extremely eye-opening experience to a very rural community that had so much gratitude for our service and for the little things in life. I also made amazing friends that share a passion for service and I would go back in an instant!
My amazing week in Honduras
April 01, 2023by: Quinn Kenny - United StatesProgram: Help Build Schools in Honduras, Panama, or Guatemala
I had an amazing time in Honduras building schools with School the World. I felt so engaged the entire week and had the best time. Immersing myself in the community was my favorite part. Everyone I went on the trip with was great and made the trip so much better.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Working for an international nonprofit that is actually transforming lives was my motivation. The local work that School the World does in the rural communities of Central America is so inspiring. Being able to be part of a small team, continuously learn and travel to the areas where we work was a huge aspect of why I wanted to work for School the World. Going on six years now and it was the best decision.
