Partners in Education - Roatan is committed to fostering quality bilingual education throughout the islands.
THE PROBLEM: The education system is not adequate to ensure that islanders have a place in this new economy. Reading and writing is a must. New skills are required in construction, sales, restaurant and hotel management, power generation, industrial electricity, and tourism services.
Our Changing Island: 1990 Roatan is a sleepy little island that attracts divers and snorkelers looking for a laidback vacation. About 15,000 people live permanently on the island. Their primary language is English. The economy is based on fishing and cottage industries. There are no paved roads. The island electric company is getting started. Telephones are few and far between.
TODAY: The world and the island have discovered each other. Electricity, paved roads, telephones, internet are now standard. Tourism now replaces fishing as the primary economy. Now the second largest cruise ship port in the Americas, Roatan is host to a million passengers annually. Her beautiful reefs draw thousands of divers who now stay at upscale hotels, resorts, and condos. Retirees flock to top-notch gated communities.
Give them a chance! Give them an education!

Join Reef Relief’s “Protect Endangered Coral Reefs” Campaign!
|
|
| |
 |
|
We are seeking to build a strong coalition of ocean lovers who will support the designation of Elkhorn and Staghorn corals onto the Endangered Species List. If successful, it will help drive efforts at the federal level to insure additional protections for coral reefs from global warming and pollution. We need your support now for this important effort. We invite you and your friends to become a member of Reef Relief to help support these efforts. For a tax deductible contribution of $50 or more, you'll receive an exclusive, members-only “Protect Endangered Coral Reefs” t-shirt. |

In August 2003, Global Healing opened a modern pediatric outpatient clinic, accessible to any and all children, within the Roatan Public Hospital. This clinic is staffed year-round with volunteer pediatricians from the U.S., rotating on a 1month-plus basis. Furthermore, the clinic is being developed as a structured elective rotation for pediatric resident physicians in their last year of training. We will be starting with sponsorship of residents at Children?s Hospital Oakland, Lucile Packard Children?s Hospital at Stanford, and UC San Francisco. Academic physicians from these hospitals, as well as pediatricians at Marin General Hospital, are providing additional support. This winter, we are expecting to formally begin telemedicine/ internet-based consultations between these physicians and the Roatan clinic. |
