Belize Overview

Trip: Belize, Corozal (English speaking)
Dates: June 26 - July 6, 2010
Cost est: $1450 (TBD)
Work: Construction/finish-work and Vacation Bible School

Description: Our work and witness team(s) will lead both a Vacation Bible School (VBS) ministry which serves about about 100 kids from their community as well as participate in finishing the last 20’ x 40’ section of the roof on a church. Pastor Gualbert said that his construction superintendent would most likely be available to lead us all week. If the roof is completed before we arrive we plan on helping with finish work like drywall, electrical outlets and more.

Other Details:

• Our Goal would be to raise over $10,000 for this project; the minimum is $5,000
• 2 blocks from the church is a small house/hotel that can house approx 20-25 people for about 7 dollars per, person per night - it has a garden area and tree house and very hospitable Christian gentleman- it's safe and secure - in fact, the owner closed the hotel to only host his last W&W team.
• Both the Nazarene church-school and the hostel have showers and restrooms.
• A local church in the community will be cooking meals for us!!!
• The ocean is a few blocks from the church where people can go to cool off following a workday
• Temps would run about 80+ degrees and very humid in June - it would be just the beginning of hurricane season...making it safer than later in the summer.
• There is a Nazarene Spanish-speaking church that has a large 40-60 passenger bus that can pickup a team in Belize City and then drive the 74 miles to and from Corozal for only 400 dollars.
• The Nazarene church and country are primarily English speaking
• Our kitchen, sleeping arrangements, and work-site are all within a few blocks of each other
