UK volunteers to help out at the Octavia Waight Center
A group of nurses from the United Kingdom will be coming to Belize to offer assistance to the and volunteer at the Octavia Waight Center in San Ignacio town.
According to a story posted on the website of the Eastbourne Herald, the 11 nurses and care workers from a local agency will arrive in Belize in 2014.
Said the Herald report: “The idea was the brainchild of Everycare owners Angela Fuller and Andy Taylor after they visited the Octavia Waight Centre during a trip to Central America last year, met the manager and on returning home to Eastbourne, organised a group of 11 of their staff to volunteer at the home and share good practice.”
The report further says that the volunteers will come in two groups in February and March of next year and they have already started to do fundraising to facilitate the trip.
