Malaria in roatan

There is malaria on the island, but long-term use of anti-malarials can cause liver damage, so no one living here takes them.  I'm here with my 2 boys, and none of us have ever had a problem, we just use repellent with the mosquitoes are out.  Plenty of ex-pat kids on the island.  I think there's a homeschooling group in West Bay.  Cam at Sandcastle Library has resources that she said homeschooling parents are welcome to use.  If you want to enroll your kids in a school, probably the most popular choice is Esbir in Coxen Hole.  Mine are at La Luisa in Coxen Hole, which is more affordable, but I supplement their English reading and writing at home, as the level at school isn't great.

There are many expat kids and kids from a variety of backgrounds. We live on Roatan with our two kids and they attend the Sandy Bay Alternative School, which is wonderful.
We are not malaria meds, but are active with safe and natural precautions against mosquitos. Long clothing, natural repellents, fans at night, screens etc.

We love it here!
