HONDURAS: BEEKEEPING WORKSHOP

Calling all worker bees! Come support SHI farmers in their efforts to establish integrated, organic apiculture systems on their lands. Participate in workshops on the construction and division of improved beehives, organic pest control, honey and pollen extraction, and marketing while living with local families. Supporting sustainable agriculture never tasted so sweet. 

Travel Costs

The cost for this trip is $1,500 per person.  This total includes project materials and supplies, liability insurance, rustic homestay accommodations with local SHI families and double occupancy hotel accommodations when we visit tourist areas, meals, in-country transportation and guide / translation service.  In addition, $300 of your program fee is given as a direct donation to the local program.  This total DOES NOT INCLUDE airfare, medicine, phone calls, souvenirs, or any additional costs not mentioned. 

A deposit of $500 should be sent in with your registration form.  The balance and airfare is due to be paid 60 days before the start of the trip.  If travel funding is an issue for you, please contact Sarah Kennedy at our outreach office to brainstorm some fundraising ideas.

Sustainable Harvest Honduras

SHI's pilot program was established in Honduras in 1997.  One of the most impoverished countries in Central America, Honduras is confronted with a host of environmental problems, including massive tropical deforestation.  For its first seven years, SHI's Honduras program worked in partnership with the Fundación Ecologista HRPF, headquartered in San Pedro Sula in the northwest part of the country.  Recently, however, we finished the paperwork to make SH-Honduras an independent affiliate of SHI.  They are now taking more responsibility for their own management and funding. 

Sustainable Harvest Honduras (SH-Honduras) is a Honduran nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of Sustainable Harvest International.  SH - Honduras is working in rural areas of northern Honduras, giving technical assistance, training events and logistic support to 405 families in 35 communities.  Three SHI extensionists work with communities in the municipalities of Azacualpa, Nueva Frontera and Quimistan in the Santa Barbara Department, near the Guatemalan border.  This is the area where we will visit participating communities and do volunteer work.  Two extensionists work in the tribal areas of El Rosario and Cuchillas in the Yoro Department, south of San Pedro Sula.
