It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and in honor of love, I’m going to show some love for the NGOs I interacted with or noticed while on my recent two-week trip to Belize.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I was not volunteering in Belize; I was vacationing. But when I travel, I always do so with a mind to transire benefaciendo<\/a>: “to travel along while doing good.” So here’s a thread to highlight some awesome NGOs I encountered as a tourist in Belize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belize Audubon Society<\/a>. They staffed some of the sanctuaries and parks we visited. And staff was always AWESOME. Note: they have volunteering opportunities! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cayo Animal Welfare Society<\/a>. It’s the Humane Society serving San Ignacio \/ Santa Elena and the Cayo District of Belize. I wrote them about a disturbing incident of dog abuse by the people operating a snack shack at Cahal Pech & they promptly wrote back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya Center Women’s Group<\/a>. They have a cultural center & gift shop at the entrance of Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. They are local artisans & by purchasing from them, you help sustain their families. They are lovely to talk to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Bertie’s Hopkins Community Library<\/a>. We walked by it every day we were in Hopkins, Belize. But I never went in, because it was either closed or OH so busy & I didn’t want to be a bother. But what an important resource!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please show them some love as well: go like some of their Facebook posts. If you can, make a financial donation to any or all of them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And next time you travel, I hope you will consider keeping in mind transire benefaciendo<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
