Abstract
Centered on the testimonios,“a narration marked by the urgency to make public a situation of oppression or injustice and of resistance against that same condition” (Forcinito, 2016, p. 239) of four female frontline workers employed at a private bilingual high school in a city in Honduras, this ethnographic study provides details and themes about how these essential workers grappled with the shutdown and lengthy interruption of their children's face-to-face schooling. Offering insight into the contextual realities of Honduras and the differences and commonalities between private bilingual and private and public schooling institutions, this study relies on testimonio as a critical methodology to address the impact of the pandemic on front-line workers' life experiences. The goal is to ensure that the audience understands the realities of some families in Honduras pre-, during, and after the COVID-19 crisis, resulting in conditions that threaten the welfare of generations of children from a nation in the heart of Central America.
