I would most definitely recommend this experience to anyone who is both fond of children and keen to practice their Spanish. Everyone at CBC is incredibly kind and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching my students and collaborating with the other members of the team (teachers and other volunteers). I felt very comfortable living in the school and connecting with locals. Additionally, I've found that this opportunity allowed for a good deal of exploring (locally and on weekend trips).

Volunteering at CBC was one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences. I stayed for a month (and would have stayed longer if I didn't have limited time) teaching my own classes of 2nd and 6th grade English. I will say that the volunteering is a lot of work, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to put in the time and effort. However, Ariel and the other teachers were so helpful and accommodating. Come with an open mind and you really will see the difference you can make as a volunteer. The children and teachers at CBC will stay with me for a long time.

I really enjoyed my time here! the school may be quiet, but its unique charm offers a look into real life. The other volunteers did their best to prepare me for school, and the school staff greeted me warmly. While the school lacked organisation, I know Ariel is doing the best he can with the resources he has. The children of course leave a lasting impact, it was a pleasure being able to teach them. Embracing ambiguity with an open mind is important, in summary you really get what you give out of this experience.

My time at the school was great! Ariel is a fantastic person who cares a lot about the kids and the volunteers. He always makes sure that everyone is comfortable, safe and that the house is working. The school activities can be tough, expecially for a first-time teacher, but with careful lessons planning it's fine.

Volunteering at CBS was an amazing experience, kids are lovely and challenging of course. Ariel, David, Leticia everyone on the team is a beautiful soul. And of course Honduras was amazing to explore during the weekends. Truly happy and blessed to be part of this project

Overall my experience at the school was memorable but chaotic. The kids are amazing of course, and the work is very rewarding but I found a lot of issues with the staff and organization of the school which made it hard to fully enjoy. Ariel was only at school half the time, and not a reliable resource when it came to help planning classes or answering our questions. “volunteers work 5 hours a day” is untrue, school hours are 7am-2pm, excluding transportation and lesson planning. I'd only recommend this to those w teaching experience and are prepared to work as a full time teacher.

During my time at CBC I was able to meet amazing volunteers and meet the most incredible children at the school. However, my time there was also on the chaotic side. On my first day there was no real structure and I was thrown into a second grade class on my own with no instructions. The line of communication at the school could be improved due to the fact that the other volunteers and I were lied to on many occasions and that the management failed to take on board our feedback when given. Overall however I had an incredible experience being able to meet and teach those wonderful children.

I loved the genuine connections I made with students and teachers, who gave a great experience. However, my first day at school was quite chaotic, being told I was to teach an English class all by myself. A lack of clear communication and a tendency to ignore feedback was also prominent. Sadly, we were consistently lied to and even made believe that other fellow volunteers were complaining behind our backs (they were not). There is a long way to go in incorporating volunteers into the school. Overall, I tried to ignore these things and focus on the kids who were amazing and the best part.

The kids are wonderful! I taught the advanced classes with kids aged 11-14, they are eager to learn and fun to spend time with. The classes with the younger grades are entirely different, more than 25 kids and you are expected to manage, discipline and teach them alone. During my time at the school, Ariel was only there about half the time and rarely helped when we had issues (things like wifi, schedules, and general support). No curriculum gives you a lot of freedom but can be difficult if you don't have experience. Overall a great experience but lacking organization, support, and resources.
