Marcus Canul

Marcos Canul is a community of about 4,200 people. The majority of people living in this area speak both Spanish and English. Most of the income in this village comes from sugarcane and other crops. This community is under heavy security of the armed forces since many of the villagers are heavily involved in contraband from Mexico. The struggles that this impoverished community faces include drug addiction, lack of solid family structures, prostitution, and very few opportunities. The children in the community are exposed to these things at an early age. Opportunity and hope for a better future are represented here at the CarePoint, introducing children to love and life.

Belize

Belize is situated in the Caribbean Sea, south of Mexico, and is about the size of New Hampshire. About 60% of the total population is made up of children and youth. Belize, with all its natural beauty and loving people, still has the highest murder rate per capita in all of Latin America.
