Review Volunteer Brenda Bodnar in Belize Orphanage House
Volunteering here changed my entire outlook on children’s home. Each staff member here treats each child like their own and it’s truly heartwarming. After just six weeks I’ve fallen in love with these kids (in the home and preschool). The kids and staff open their home and heart to me and they will forever have a place in my heart. This experience has made me truly consider adoption in the future as well.

I find the work being done here not only admirable, but extraordinary. I was constantly impressed by all the hard work put in each day by the caregivers. To give a child a house to live is one thing and to give a child a loving home is another. The orphanage goes above and beyond to make this a happy place for this to call home.

Being an international volunteer, especially for a short period of time, can be challenging. But it is so worth it. These kids, this place and this experience will stay with me long after I leave. I want to do right by these kids and this place and be an advocate and spread that joy and kindness that I found to be overflowing here in Belize, even if I physically can’t be here, the trip was just the beginning there is much more to do.
