Volunteers give up their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the country.

Pauline says, “These days, I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted (污染), the coral dies. I`ll help to do research(调查) on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.”

When I finish my work, I will stay here for another three months because I want to travel around Belize and Central America”
