What people say about us
Children, families and volunteers share their experience.
“Honduras is a beautiful country and its people are determined to build a better one; the most important tool for this is the education of its children. The most memorable part was the opportunity to teach: the school’s passionate staff gave me all the support I needed. I would recommend this amazing organisation to anyone looking to teach abroad.”
“Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see. I didn’t come here to be an adventure seeker or to have an easy life: there was only one reason, to work with those who are in need. I urge you to release any fears through empathy and become a WBK volunteer.”
Who we are
We believe education breaks the cycle of poverty
We are a faith-based institution operating three bilingual schools, in Villanueva, El Progreso and San Pedro Sula; the first opened in 2005. Many children leave school to work or grow up without their parents, who migrated in search of opportunity. We offer them stability, love, positive role models, quality education and an invaluable global perspective.
