Belize, formerly the colony of British Honduras, is the only country in Central America with English as its official language. The country is located between Guatemala to the west and south and Mexico to the north. Along the Caribbean it is culturally similar to many of Britain's former island colonies. Inland are native Maya people, and especially in the north and northwest of the country Spanish is often spoken.
Belize is often called "nature's best kept secret" but the secret is quickly spreading! From the second-largest barrier reef in the world, to jungle mountains, to sugar cane fields, and winding rivers and streams, the diversity of ecosystems is unique and unmatched. Combine that with a rich Maya history and beautiful blend of cultures and you will discover a country that you want to return to.
San Ignacio, located in the Cayo District, is the second largest city in Belize and is the business and adventure center of Belize. Just minutes from the Guatemalan border, it is nestled in the Maya Mountains and situated on the Macal and Mopan Rivers. Our work is focused on a town school in Santa Elena.
You better Belize it!
