Lucy Fleming had this to say: “Belize is blessed with some of the most stunning natural beauty in the world, but at the end of the day it’s the people who make living in and visiting Belize such a wonderful experience. Mick and I always recognised that, and we always felt it was important to contribute and give something back to the communities we’ve had such a close bond with all these years.  We also like to show that working closely with communities, especially in a developing nation like Belize, is not only intrinsically and morally right, but provides tangible benefits for everyone involved.”
