Farm of the Child: Catholic Children's Home, School and Clinic
Goal of Program: Farm of the Child is a Catholic children's home, school, medical clinic, and community outreach program located on the Caribbean coast and the edge of the Mosquitia rain forest. The mission of Farm of the Child is to care for and improve the physical, educational, spiritual, and social needs of abandoned and neglected children of Honduras so that they may become productive members of Honduran society. By providing a loving home, Farm of the Child hopes to provide a therapeutic environment that helps children to heal from their wounds and trauma. In some small way, our goal is to help build the Kingdom of God in Trujillo, Honduras, Central America. Our missionaries come together to live in a faith community rooted in prayer that seeks to live out the gospel message.
Placement Type: The majority of volunteers serve as teachers or medical professionals; there are limited placements available for those skilled and/or certified in the following areas: arts & recreation professionals, pastoral ministers, construction/maintenance, agriculture, and vocational programs.
