Honduras

Friends of Barnabus, Sept 20-27th 2025

Friends of Barnabus, a longtime UMVIM project and partner, have openings for medical and non-medical volunteers for several of our July 12th – 19th and September 20th-27th teams. The cost to join the team is $2250, which includes airfare, accommodations, meals, and security.  Many of our team members fundraise to cover this travel cost and to support the team’s medicine and supplies fundraising goal.
Friends of Barnabas has been serving remote mountain communities in central Honduras since 2000.  Each month ‘FoB’ sends a team of medical and non-medical volunteers to provide medical, dental and vision clinics.  In addition, the teams provide education, vitamins, anti-parasite medications and development screenings for children.

Each mission journey will be held from Saturday to Saturday.  The teams fly to Honduras early Saturday morning and take a 1.5-hour drive to our facilities in Peña Blanca.  On Sunday, the team will have a chance to visit either a waterfall or botanical gardens in the morning, and the afternoon will be spent preparing for the week ahead.  Monday through Friday are clinic days where teams will travel to remote communities (typically a 1–2-hour drive) and hold medical, dental and vision clinics.  On a typical day, teams will see 150-200 patients. The following Saturday the team will return home.
