Traveling in Belize

Traveling in Belize can be one of the most eventful experiences in a person’s life.
It is a land of exotic beauty, many cultures and adventure. From the mountains
to the sea, to the rain forest, you will not be disappointed.

Since many with LTA have traveled (and still travel) throughout the country, we wanted to help the first time and occasional visitor with our experience. Therefore, we will update this blog regularly on restaurants, transportation, accommodations, crime, the political environment, recreation and most importantly, the people of Belize.

All of these updates will happen from our workers, guests and visitors that arrive in this great country to “Build A School”.

Stay tuned for frequent updates.

Staff Housing

Good evening.

After finding the necessary  property in Belize and going through the purchase process, we now need staff housing near the property. (By the way, we have been down this road before. I will explain in another post.)

Today we received an email from an individual in San Pedro Belize that has a condo for lease. This will be available on April 12. In the mean time, short term housing is needed and we will look into that tomorrow.

Upon our return to Belize, the primary goal for the property is to get the road cut in and mark the locations for each building on the land. In order to accomplish this, we are working on a campus plan.

Many items are underway right now to begin teaching in the school.
Over time they will all be listed here to help future school builders in their efforts.
