They work mostly with medical volunteers that built many medical units in Central America to bring food, water and supplies where needed. They are trying to put together a fleet of smaller vehicles to provide transportation for about 50 Dr./students going to the medical units, they pay for fuel and food. They need transportation to get there and once they are there. Students are there for 2 weeks.
This is all charity work.
Arrangements can -maybe- be made to stay in a hotel or camping on VoA - Voice of America-
Some sealed medical provisions would be taken down to Belize.
The trip would be minimum 5 days in Belize with time for trip there and return.... Distance: just under 1000 miles
There is a security force in Belize.
Best time to go is usually around christmas, when people have time to get there.
