Volunteering

We are currently volunteering with a really great project in San Pedro Columbia in southern Belize. We are volunteering for the Columbia River Cooperative, and are helping put the final touches on the Rainforest Academy, a school in Belize's poorest district, Toledo, which will allow indigenous children from the local Maya village to attend high school. The project is currently in need of funding and, if you're interested, you can donate through the link below. Please feel free to share this with friends, family and colleagues and let's give these children the education they deserve ... http://igg.me/at/rainforestacademy.
You can also sign a petition to the Education Minister declaring that Belize needs more high schools via this link: http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Do_you_think_there_are_REALLY_enough_High_Schools_in_Belize_INTERNATIONAL_AWARENESS_CAMPAIGN_1/?eWaHMab

About Us

We are an Australian couple who love to travel as much as we can. Our first backpacking adventure began in 2007 when we travelled through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China for 3 months before settling in Beijing for 6 months to teach English. Beijing proved a great base to earn enough money to continue travelling as Cameron managed to get to South Korea and Japan for 2 months, before we both went to Canada at the end of 2008. We then worked and travelled in Canada and the US for about 8 months before heading home to finish university. After graduating university, Cameron as a secondary English and Social Science teacher and Cassie as a human services worker, we worked for two years before heading off for our next adventure. This time, we left Australia on Christmas day 2012 and travelled through Europe for 4 months before heading for Central America. We initially intended to travel in Central America for 3 months but ended up staying for eleven. This trip has seen us travel through over 20 countries in 12 months and we are not intending to stop just yet!
