Ministering selflessly to those in need is likely the most powerful arsenal to transform the heart and character of young people to compassionately love like the Master, our Lord and saviour Jesus-Christ. We have worked tirelessly to package a mission trip to re-engage our students community with mission and benefit the community of Billy White SDA Elementary school in Belize.

Exercise normal precautions in Canada.
Read the Country Information page for additional information on travel to Canada.
If you decide to travel to Canada:
Exercise increased caution in Belize due to crime. Some areas have increased risk. Please read the entire Travel Advisory.
Country Summary: Violent crime – such as sexual assault, home invasions, armed robberies, and murder – are common even during daylight hours and in tourist areas. A significant portion of violent crime is gang related. Due to high crime, travelers are advised to exercise caution while traveling to the south side of Belize City. Local police lack the resources and training to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents. Most crimes remain unresolved and unprosecuted.

Belize City – Level 3: Reconsider Travel
U.S. citizens should avoid traveling to Belize City. Historically much of the violent crime in Belize occurs in the Southside of Belize City and is gang related. This area (south of Haulover Creek Canal and continuing south to Fabers Road) does not overlap the typical tourism areas. All visitors should maintain an elevated level of due diligence and reduce their exposure to crime-related risks by practicing good safety and security practices.
