DRESS CODE

1. Volunteers need to understand that there is a problem with lust and sexual immorality in Honduran culture even more so than at home. Churches expect Christians to dress more conservatively then you are probably accustomed to. Also, dressing more conservatively will eliminate unwanted comments and minimize problems in this area.

2. The climate of Honduras is generally hot but can cool off at night and can be cool in high altitudes. Keep this in mind when packing clothing. Clothing that is loose fitting and modest must be worn.

3. Shorts are acceptable sometimes. They are NOT acceptable for any kind of church service, prison ministry, in the garbage dumps, or on street ministry. If they are worn they must come to at least the middle of your thigh and they cannot be spandex shorts.

4. Shirts- Women’s shirts should be of modest length and not too tight fitting. The stomach should not be visible. Sleeveless shirts are not acceptable. Modest tank tops are acceptable sometimes but not all of the time. They are NOT acceptable in prison, on street ministry, or at the garbage dump. Spaghetti strap tank tops are unacceptable.For males, tight fitting muscle shirts are unacceptable except during a work projects. Loose fitting muscles shirts are acceptable sometimes. They are NOT acceptable in church, in prison, on the streets or in the garbage dumps.

5. Pants – For women capris and pants are acceptable. Yoga pants and other tighter fitting pants are acceptable. However, if you are planning on wearing tight fitting capris or pants, you should be sure your shirt pulls down over your bottom. No holey pants for church meetings.

6. Volunteers should bring some clothing that he/she doesn’t mind getting ruined including an old pair of shoes.

7. For church meetings nice casual clothes are acceptable. If a female is going to wear a skirt or dress it must come to their knees. There will be occasions (not many) when skirts or dresses only are acceptable for a female so be sure to pack at least one skirt or dress. Shorts are not acceptable for church meetings for men or women. For men casual pants or nice jeans with a button up or a pollo shirt. Keep in mind most churches do not have air conditioning. Holey pants are not acceptable for church.

8. There are occasions where you must wear long pants whether you are a male or female so be sure to pack long pants (garbage dump, jail, street ministry, church)

9. For shoes every team member must have at least one pair of running shoes that completely covers the foot. This is for your safety at work sites and in other locations such as the garbage dumps. Sandals and all other types of shoes are acceptable. You will be on your feet a lot and walking in places where you will want good supportive shoes.

10. Do not bring a lot of expensive jewelry or accessories.

11. Do not bring or wear any Chicago Bulls clothing, hats, jackets etc. In Honduras Chicago Bulls clothing is related to a very dangerous gang. Do not bring expensive shoes, particularly white Nikes with red logos. These can also cause problems with gang members.
