Accommodation
Pack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description
The Armenia Government School- serves 200 students from ages 6 through 14 years old. This village is one of Belize’s poor communities with many of the villagers identified as low income homes. A portion of the villagers are indigenous or Maya origin and with little or no income or support. The school is poor by city standards with little or no outside assistance. Many teachers take out of their own pockets to supply their students and class room with basic tools such as markers, erasers, pens, pencils, paper, etc.
