Region: Salt Spring Island
We are developing 5 acres on Salt Spring Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. We have done a lot of land clearing and now we want to build an organic garden (blue berries, fruit trees and vegetables), build rock walls do more landscaping more and put up several deer fences. We have comfortable accommodations with internet, satelite TV and unlimited North American long distance calling. We are a couple both in mid 50's and have a lot of energy and plans. No children. We live in a very beautiful area near the ocean and just above the best hiking trails on the island.
Region: Quetzaltenango
Our Community Center is a non-profit, non-governmental organization funded by its Spanish language school. All of our proceeds return directly to the community through our educational programs for children, which involve teaching English, art, Spanish reinforcement, mathematics, science, theater, and more at four sites on the outskirts of Quetzaltenango (Guatemala´s second-largest city). The children we serve often come from families who have been marginalized by poverty, indigenous Mayan heritage, or rural backgrounds, and many lack access to the privilege of a primary school education even though six years are theoretically provided free of charge under the Guatemalan system. Our foreign volunteers provide creative, thoughtful instruction and activities which these children would otherwise not receive. To that end we seek dedicated and enthusiastic individuals who are motivated to give back to some of the most disenfranchised communities in Quetzaltenango. If you are interested in learning about grassroots social development work through education, want to gain valuable international teaching experience, and improve your Spanish through work with kids, our Community Center has a place for you!

Region: Belize Jungle
We are a family in Belize nestled in the foothills of Mountain Pine Ridge and on the outskirts of an “Old World” Mennonite community. The most common word we hear to describe the place is “Paradise”. There are plenty of creek-side hammocks, a small book exchange, excellent bird watching and scenic botanical gardens. If you are seeking some adventure we offerguided and unguided jungle hikes, night hikes as well as trips to remote swimming holes,waterfalls, Maya ruins, horseback riding, river canoeing and cave exploring. Come see why theLonely Planet Guidebook said, “The sort of place you visit for a day and stay fora week."
