Volunteer Abroad in Belize: Our programs in Belize offer an unparalleled opportunity to discover one of the most fascinating lands of Central America. Belize is a stable, democratic country that lies on the eastern Central American coast; nestled between Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea. 
Belize is culturally unique among Central American nations. It is the only nation in Central America with a British colonial heritage. The country is a sovereign, democratic state, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the constitutional Head of State In Belize over half of the tiny country is covered by tropical rainforest whilst offshore the second largest barrier reef in the world can be found as well as over 200 cayes (islands). The official language of this multi ethnic, multi lingual country is English although the Creole dialect and Spanish are widely spoken. Belize has a population of just 266,440 with nearly 50% of this population under 18 years of age. 
For all its natural beauty, Belize is one of the 10 poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. 39% of the population (mainly children under 18yrs) lives below the poverty line (figures courtesy of United Nations Children's Fund, February 2005). A recent World Bank Report on the HIV/AIDS pandemic focusing on the the spread of infection in Central America has shown that Belizeans suffer the highest rate of infection in all Central America! Volunteering in Belize will provide you the chance of a lifetime to explore this mysterious country while giving back to the community. Our volunteer projects allow you to support local children, at the orphanages and the onsite nursery school. Volunteering with us and Gain a Broader View of the World. |
