Hello, We are happy to be back!
The COVID-19 global pandemic was devastating in a number of ways, and our hearts go out to all those who lost people they care about. Of course, there were numerous other negative effects related to the pandemic. One of those effects was the ability to travel safely. After some attempts from 2020 to 2022 to get Saving the Hungry going again, we decided that the best thing to do was ensure there was lots of runway after the pandemic to ensure our guests did not encounter health risks related to the pandemic. Well, we are back with confidence that we can once again carry out our mission to help others. Please connect with us as we work on our first trip since before the pandemic. We are so excited to reconnect with you and create more life-changing experiences for whoever joins us on a trip.
Honduras 2026.When we last reached out to you, it was 2020! Wow, how a global pandemic can affect people who like to travel to help! Well, we are back! Nigel is busy preparing an early itinerary and making the connections for Honduras. We are currently planning a trip there for the first quarter of 2026. Our early plan is to help with some projects for those in need in or near the capital city of San Pedro Sula and then head to the island of Roatán for some vacation time. We are in the early days of planning, but all signals are going green for us to get a trip together for early 2026.
Let us know if you are interested! Zero obligation at this point.
We want to get a start on early interest and are also building up our database to communicate regularly with previous Saving the Hungry travellers and new prospective travellers. There is no obligation at all. We just need to start to form a group of interested people for Honduras and/or our other upcoming adventures. Contact Nigel or Wade through email or phone. Our contact information is below.
What drives people to help others in need? What motivates Saving the Hungry travellers to raise money through their friends, family, and associates and then travel thousands of kilometres to unknown lands to help families they have never met? It's been a while, so we wanted to share again what we learned.
To make a substantive and life-altering impact in this world. Many of our travelers are “ true givers” who have contributed in many ways throughout their lives. Some of these “gifts” will have been monetary or in-kind through donations, and some will be time spent assisting with a cause. The difference with Saving the Hungry is that our travelers get struck by how meaningful it is that their fundraising and then their efforts toward a build or project change real and in-person lives forever … in 3-5 days. Our people have changed others’ hopes, and the people who are recipients of that gift are right there to see the gift come to life.
To create clarity on what is important in your life. Our travelers see how little others have to carry on with their lives. In one example, what we would call a “garden shed” saves lives and gives people new hope. A 10’ x 10’ home with a tin roof, tin sides, and a concrete floor in the Managua, Nicaragua garbage dump area provides new hope and shelter for families. When our travelers use their hands to create this new hope for a family in need, something great happens to their hearts and souls.

To immerse yourself in and appreciate other communities and cultures.
When we all go on a regular vacation, most of us travel the same paths that many other “tourists” have travelled. When you travel and volunteer with us, you get the “inside story”. You volunteer where people need us the most, in places that tourists would rarely see. And since we have relationships with local partners, they take us to the inside of the cultures and teach us all about where we are … with trusted friends. You get immersed. (Watch out, you may fall in love with the country and the kids!)
To enhance connection with your travel partner(s) and/or make meaningful connections with new friends.
When you travel with us, you will meet like-minded people who have a giving heart. You will meet new friends that also want to contribute to a bigger purpose. Our trips have also brought couples closer together, mothers and fathers closer together with their children, and friends closer together. Going abroad on our trips brings greater meaning to being together.
To have fun and feel fulfilled.
We will continue to show you our videos and photos with all the smiles and laughs! One of our travelers said: “I have not contributed to something so special in a long time and also never laughed so much!” We are fun people who enjoy life. Not only will you have fun on the vacation part of the journey, but the fun will also be on the worksites.
To put your skills to good use.
Whether you are a handyperson, a trained tradesperson, a person who likes to paint the house, a people connector, a photo/video aficionado, a host or hostess, or even a great joke-teller … our trips are a great place to use your skills and learn more. Who would have known how you must get it exactly right when you are mixing cement the simple way?
To challenge yourself.
Our travelers tell us that they wanted to “spark” their lives a bit, do something different, and create more purpose. There is a yearning to do something more for someone else. Our trips are an opportunity for you to challenge yourself, go somewhere to see something you may never see on your own, and transform lives with your own hands!
