Based on current World Health Organization guidance, constantly changing international travel requirements, emergence of new strains of COVID-19, and an abundance of caution, HOPEww REQUIRES THAT ALL COMMUNITY SERVICE BRIGADE PARTICIPANTS TRAVELING OUTSIDE THEIR HOME COUNTRIES BE FULLY VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 (as defined by the WorldHealth Organization).
We are excited to tell you that the 2022 Community Service Brigades are on! We all have missed family and friends in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and beyond. What a joyful reunion it will be! In July 2021, a small group was able to travel to San Pedro Sula, Honduras and hold a CSB. It was an emotional, joyful and powerful trip for all the volunteers, from Honduras and the U.S.
If you are a doctor, dentist, PA, nurse, EMT, educator, mental health provider or someone who just wants to come and serve alongside amazing volunteers from the host country…. Come join the fun! You will see hundreds of people who need quality health care. We promise you will work hard, have fun, be tired and have many life altering moments during your time at a CSB.
We believe that 2022 will be a great year of restarting brigades in all the locations that you have served in before the COVID19 pandemic. Of course, appropriate precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of volunteers and beneficiaries alike. ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED AND PROVIDE PROOF OF VACCINATION.
The registration fee for each participant will be $400 of which $50 will be left in the host country to sustain their work. You will also have a PCR fee that will be due at registration as well. The cost for this fee is dependent upon the country you wish to serve in. We are thrilled to visit friends and family in each location and ultimately to help improve the health of the individuals that come to the brigades.
Please DO NOT purchase your flights until you receive a "welcome to the team letter" stating that you have been accepted on this brigade.
Thank you for your many years of support and help serving our brothers and sisters and their communities. May God continue to bless our efforts.
