PLACEMENT!

I received my email confirming my placement in Honduras for next year over the weekend, but being as I was so very excited I didn't notice the little attachment at the bottom of the email which listed the details of my project (sorry Gill) So now I've looked at the attachment and I know a bit more now about where and what it is I will be doing, so I thought I should share it here,

I will be going to a municipality (similar to a country) in Honduras called La Union, Lempira, which has a population of about 6,000 people. I will be teaching in Abundant Life Christian School in La Union which was founded in 2004 as an outreach to the poorest students in the country. The school is a fee-paying school. Many Honduran parents strive for their children to gain a bilingual education in order to increase the job opportunities that may be available to them in the future. However, over half of the students who attend the school in La Union are on full scholarship and another 30 per cent are part scholarships. La Union itself is a poor community and many of the students who attend the school see this as an incredible opportunity for them to study overseas and support their families. Many students travel long distances to attend the school, therefore the students are apparently very enthusiastic! :) 

I will be teaching primary education, ranging in age and subjects, English, Science, Maths, History and Art, and I may also be asked to tutor some of the secondary level students. 

Oh and I will live with a host family and my partner!

This is all getting very exciting now!! I'm due to leave the country on or around the 2nd of August so it's coming up very quickly!
