Since 1970, more DRH schools have been established.

Today there are 13, located in 8 different countries on 4 continents: Europe, North America, The Caribbean, Africa and Asia.

Each DRH school is an autonomous institution in its own right. Each school has a number of ongoing programs, but common to all of them is the Development Instructor Program: a unique program in which people from all over the world are offered an opportunity not only to  learn about the atrocities in the poor parts of the world, but also to join together and DO something, to take action and to make a difference at projects in Africa or Asia. 

The schools works closely in cooperation with HUMANA People to People about the Development Instructor Programme. Humana People to People run around 200 development projects in Southern Africa, Latin America, India, and China, reaching a total of around 5 million people.

The DRH Schools have trained until now more than 10.000 Development Instructors.

THE PROGRAM

The program has a preparation periode from 2-6 months at the DRH School, followed by a 4-12 months periode at a project in Africa, Latin America or Asia.

The training programme is a unique, demanding and exciting education designed to enable you to rise to the challenges of the project period. Courses and language studies are combined with experiences, learning by doing and team building activities. Within the first weeks your team will receive job descriptions from Humana People to People so that you can decide between you as to who goes where.

Then you are off to the projects for 4-12 months.

This is what it is all about.  In spite of your training and the specific preparation you have made, you have big challenges ahead of you in working at the projects of Humana People to People in Africa, Latin America or Asia. 

These are the projects you will be working in:

·         Child Aid; a program that focuses on the well being of children by addressing the difficulties in the communities and environment

·         HOPE or TCE (Total Control of the Epidemic) programs with the aim of stopping the spread of HIV & AIDS and dealing with the consequences that exist

·         Teacher Training Colleges where there is a focus to educate teachers for rural areas

·         Vocational schools for young people to learn basic skills for their future

The last 2 months Camp Future is a period where you evaluate, to reach out and give information and presentations about what you have done, the people you have met, the projects and the development that has taken place and the changes that have happened to you. This is also the time where you can promote about the DI program and encourage many others to join the program. During this period you can also make investigation and plans for your own future.
