People in Honduras

Finally, a guide to the people I will be talking about here. These basically come in two different types: Hondurans and Americans. For most Americans, I use their real names unless they have asked me not to. For all Hondurans, I use some kind of pseudonym that’s usually pretty close to their names.

I don’t want to list all of the nearly 200 volunteers here in Honduras or anything, but here are some names I may be using/may have used a lot. These are volunteers I’m friends with or that live near me. In no particular order, here is a quick list of all volunteers’ real names: Joelle, Amy, Bryan, Matt, Luke, Dave, Stephen, Jesse, Kristin, Ashland, Greg, Aimee, Jenna, Camilla, Lisa, Stacie, Jen, X, Anna, Andrew, Monica, Heather, Leslie, Nancy, Isa, Mary, Kari, Ruth, Ben, Kate, Catriona, Mercy, Casey, and Amanda.

As for Hondurans, here are a few names I’ve used already (and I’ll add to this list as I refer to more people in the future):

• Alexandra/Alex – my name here in Cisco!
• Allison – one of my counterparts, the librarian
• Pammy – my host sister I’m closest with (reminds me of Kaitlin)
• Pastor – my uncle, the pastor of the nearby Evangelical church, we have Spanish/English time once a week to work on our second languages, he has an awesome son with disabilities
• Profe – my main counterpart, principal of the school, director of the library executive board, just an all around, really involved guy in my town even though he lives a few aldeas over (reminds me of Dennis)
• Rick – my PTS, he led our training, he’s awesome
• Sammy – my PM, she’s higher up, heads the YD program
• Ses – my host cousin/niece that I’m closest with (reminds me of Samantha)
• Valerie – one of my counterparts, the main nurse at the health center (reminds me of my friend Nicole from Edison)

Hope this helps too! It is also linked to in the sidebar for easy reference.
