Montana De Luz

By Heather Desantis

 

Montana de Luz located in Columbus, Ohio is a non-profit organization that provides hope for children affected by HIV/AIDS by taking care of the health, educational, and security needs for Honduran Children. They do this by being present in Honduras- making medical care available to families as well as educate the community through awareness about preventative measures against AIDS.

For people who are looking for a hands on service opportunity Monta de Luz offers an incredible one week service trip through an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural experience. For a fee of $1,800, you will be provided the opportunity to make a humanitarian contribution and be emeshed into a Spanish speaking culture.

In addition to volunteering overseas, there are many other ways to help this organization that include: volunteering at the office, making a monetary donation, holding a leadership position, or having a collection drive for clothing or other needed items. “We always need volunteers to work on our fund-raising committees, in our office on short term projects as well as long term volunteers who can commit to a specific number of hours on a regular basis”, said Executive Director, Erika Shell Castro.
