Sorry for any cross-postings!  Please forward this to anyone who you think might be interested in volunteering to spend a month or more in Belize, caring for an orphaned manatee; Sarteneja is a lovely place and you will love the folks at Wildtracks.
 
Please contact Zoe directly at office@wildtracksbelize.org
 
Cheers,
Caryn
