Practical Preparations

This page links you to all kinds of information on how to prepare to travel to Honduras as an MEH team.  Physical preparations are covered, like passports and packing, but also how you might prepare mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for the trip. 

We strongly urge your team to have at least one orientation meeting or retreat.  The more prepared your mission team is as a whole, and the more your team members feel connected to each other before arriving in Honduras, the richer your total experience will be. So, please consider planning several pre-trip sessions for your team, to both review the following information and to share of yourself.

 
• Information on Immunizations, and Tips on Staying Healthy in Honduras
• A list of items Especially for the Team Leader
• Every team member should review the Gift-Giving Guidelines
• Tips on Cultural Preparation
• Review Tips for Living in Honduras
• Suggested Packing List will be helpful as your departure time draws near
• Money Matters for MEH teams
• Options for Sending Money to Honduras
• Information on the Climate of Honduras
• Advice for mission teams on Security
• Converting Dollars into Lempira
• What to expect immediately Upon Arrival in Honduras

   

Spanish!  ¡Español!

• Print and study useful Spanish Words and Phrases.  Many volunteers have commented on how beneficial it was to have some Spanish words ready, and how pleased their hosts were to hear the effort they made.
