SHI families are excited to welcome volunteers into their homes and share their community and farms. Homestays in the community will be rustic, without indoor plumbing and electricity, but we know the students are up for the challenges and simplicity of rural living. In addition to experiencing day-to-day life in the rural communities, the group will visit national parks, tour ancient Mayan ruins and make delicious chocolate. Get ready for meaningful service projects and the tropical adventure of a lifetime!
Sustainable Harvest International-Belize welcomes students and educators from Vermont Academy to their programs this spring. The group will take part in sustainable farming projects which protect Belize's natural resources while improving quality of living in rural communities. This educational trip will provide opportunities for cultural exchange, service learning and seeing some of the world's most diverse tropical ecosystems. Trip participants will work alongside local staff and families to plant vegetable gardens, establish tree nurseries, build wood-conserving stoves and more.

"I volunteered with SHI in Honduras many years ago. It was an amazingly inspiring trip, not just because we were able to work side by side with the families we were there to support, but I was able to see firsthand exactly how SHI operates and why its techniques and approach are so successful. SHI is a charity well worth supporting because its mission isn't charity at all -- it's empowerment."
