Transportation Recommendation

A car is recommended.  The various services and members are spread over large distances and there is not any practical public transportation.  Driving is on the right side of the street.

Branch of Church

Your housing is in the boundaries of the Dangriga Branch. The Church meets in a rented house about 1/2 mile walk away. Covid took a toll on the branch attendance because there was no Zoom option. Previous Sacrament  attendance was roughly 60-75 and the Church had purchased a parcel to build a chapel. Current attendance is meeting about 10-15 and the Church has put the chapel parcel up for sale. 

Health & Safety Conditions

There is a small hospital in the town of Dangriga adequate for small injuries. A larger medical center is 2 hours away in Belize City. Dangriga has an airport that is adequate for medical evacuation flights.

Handling of Expenses

The cost information about each location includes an estimated monthly budget as well as one-time expenses like airfare. Depending on your own lifestyle choices your expenses may be more or less. You will directly pay for all of your own expenses except for lodging. AEA has contracted for long-term leases for the housing locations and you will make monthly rent payments to AEA while serving as a volunteer. The monthly lodging rates shown in the budget above are current and fixed.  When you apply and reserve an AEA location you will be charged the first month's rent in advance as a refundable deposit. Subsequent rent will be paid monthly, one month in advance. The AEA Local Coordinator will show you how to pay any other local expenses.
