(In Alphabetical Order By Location):
Belize
- Holy Cross Anglican School (Ambergris Caye)
Holy Cross Anglican School is an incredible school set up for the poor kids in San Pedro, Belize. For many of our students, the school is a safe place in an uncertain world of broken hopes, parental drug and alcohol abluse and neglect. School is not free in Belize – the government only pays teachers salaries so we need your support to keep our doors open to these kids. Go to www.holycrossbelize.org to find out more.

Honduras – Roatan, Utila, & Guanaja (Bay Islands)
- Abundant Life Foundation
Since our beginnings in 2004, the mission at the Abundant Life Foundation (ALF) has been to empower individuals, families and communities to believe in themselves by providing resources that help them help themselves. We strongly adhere to the policy that unconditional charity is not a solution to poverty, but instead creates a dependence upon it.The projects and initiatives ALF supports, whether for an individual, organization or group, requires that some financial, material or labor contribution be made in order to have “chips in the game.” This builds strength and belief in themselves, and by fighting for what they get, they will defend it more than if it were given to them for free.
We will achieve our mission in the Bay Islands of Honduras by assisting with efforts towards education, micro-businesses, strengthening communities, and connecting the outside world to “do good”.
