Dear Carol,
I work in London as an Internet Developer but am working towards
changing my career. The career that I am re-training towards is as a
biological field surveyor. I love nature and am a keen bird watcher and
entomologist. Will there be opportunities to learn how to safely explore
the cloud forest?
One thing that I have always wanted is to learn another language; I
would like to learn Spanish. I have been learning the language but
really need to spend time in a country with speakers.
Would it be possible for me to have a chance of learning the language at
the school?
What would my hours of work be?
Am I allowed any time off in the six months?
Do I get my own bedroom?
What is the crime rate like? If I brought my laptop I might develop an
Internet site in the evenings and upload it once or twice a month. I see
that there are communications; is there a telephone in the house that I
will be living in?
Is there a structure that I can follow to teach English? I have not
taught before, I think that I would like teaching and might be good if I
can follow a structure. What ages are the children? Are they keen to
learn?
Sorry there are so many questions but I have to start somewhere.
Sincerely,
Richard Price.

Elementary School Teacher Position: Nueva Ocotepeque, Honduras
The Little Red House Bilingual school is currently looking for
native English-speaking volunteers to teach English classes within
their bilingual curriculum. Prior teaching experience and Spanish
language skills are a plus, but not required. Most importantly, we
are looking for volunteers who love kids, work hard, can adapt to
our environment and can commit to at least 6 months.
Located in Nueva Ocotepeque, Honduras, The Little Red House
Bilingual School is the only bilingual school in the region and it
is widely regarded as the best primary education available.
Currently, it has six grades (two kindergarten and first through
fourth) and there is a total of about 75 students. When the new
school year begins in February, the school will grow to seven
grades. Right now, the school has seven teachers and one
administrator. Three of the teachers, including the current
American volunteer, are capable of teaching English. More English-
speaking volunteers would immensely improve the English program
within the school. The current school year ends at the end of
November, but we will be offering supplemental classes during the
two month break. Volunteers will be paid for these two months of
teaching. Aside from the school, volunteers will have the
opportunity to teach English classes to adults during the afternoon
and evening to earn some extra spending money.
Nueva Ocotepeque is a town of about 15,000 in the westernmost part
of Honduras. While certainly not a tourist destination, it is a
beautiful town surrounded by picturesque cloud forests and
mountains. It is a frequent stop off point for travelers heading to
and from El Salvador and Guatemala, therefore bus transportation to
the rest of the region is excellent. Ocotepeque is considered small
by most volunteers, but not so small that basic necessities like
internet access aren't readily available. For volunteers who like
to travel, San Salvador and the Copan Ruins are a day trip away.
Also, popular coastal destinations like Tela, La Cieba and the Bay
Islands are easily accessible during long weekends and vacations.
Volunteers will live in a three bedroom, three bathroom house about
four blocks from the school. The house has a kitchen living and
dining area, running water in the morning and electricity. It is
well above the average standard of living in Ocotepeque. Board is
provided by the director's family who lives in a neighboring house.
The overall cost of living for volunteers is extremely low.
Currently, there is one American volunteer living in the house.
Unfortunately, were are unable to pay for airfare to and from
Honduras. We would prefer that you fly into San Pedro Sula,
Honduras, but if that is not feasible, San Salvador is another
option. In either case, we are happy to pick you up at the
airport. Taca airlines ( www.grupotaca.com ) and Continental are
good airlines that offer reasonable fares. The website:
www.skyauction.com is also worth checking out.
If interested, please send questions or resume and cover letter to
the Director, Carol Penman at littleredhousebilingual.....com
Also, for further information, you can write our past volunteer
Matthew Thayer at matthew_thayer.....com or our current
volunteer John Carolan at carolan_john.....com
