There are numerous community-building projects in and around Copán Ruinas. One site to check out is Mayatan Bilingual School (http://www.mayatanfoundat...), a locally-founded independent, non-profit school that educates local children in Spanish and English. The school relies on foreign volunteers to teach its English language courses Pre-K through high school, and it always welcomes visitors. Mayatan is located on the path to the Macaw Mountain bird park, about 1.5km from the center of town, or a L15 75¢ taxi ride. Contact David for more information.
