Samantha recently completed her BVS project at the Jaguar Creek Center, a Christian environmental education center that serves as the Belize base for Brethren environmental learning tours in Central America. Plans are being for a second experience early in 2001 that will offer much of the same itinerary and will be led by Tom Benevento. Tom has extensive experience in sustainable development and is currently serving as Latin America specialist for the Global Mission Partnerships office of the General Board. Those wanting to experience jungle life while helping with construction and general maintenance projects are invited to the Jaguar Creek Center, during the month of January. Lyle Neher of the January 2000 trip will be at Jaguar Creek during this peroid.
Persons can stay as much of the month as suits their schedule.
Contact the Brethren Witness office for more details. BVSers Needed Environmentally-related BVS positions in Guatemala and Belize are currently open and in need of qualified volunteers. In Belize, several positions are available at the Jaguar Creek Center, a Christian environmental education facility in the jungle of Belize. Spanish language facility is required for the Guatemala assignment, but not for Belize. Both projects are linked to on-going Brethren efforts in these countries.
