Sustainability at Hamanasi

Hamanasi is deeply committed to environmental stewardship and to molding ourselves into the most eco-friendly resort in Belize. From the kitchen, to the grounds, to the rooms, to our Belize tours, we are always looking for ways to make our operations more sustainable. Hamanasi is already a leader in eco-tourism, but this archive will track us as we continue to green every aspect of the resort.

“Happy animals, thanks to the HBHS”

by hamanasi on December 9, 2011

In November, the Hopkins Belize Humane Society had free spay/neuter and treatment clinics with vet sisters, Dr. Linda Leavell and Dr. Lisa Kelly. In three days, the two vets performed just over 70 procedures, including spays/neuters, tumor removals, tooth extractions, and other much needed surgeries.  Plus, over 40 exams and treatments. Including house calls done by HBHS representatives, over 130 animals were cared for in the November clinics.

HBHS is a very active organization. Vets from several countries have been to Hopkins to donate their services to Belize. In 2012, HBHS will have their busiest year of free vet clinics ever, hosting several new teams to the area, and many returning to Belize for second, third, and even fourth visits!

Hamanasi is proud to be a big supporter of HBHS! Through donating room and board, tours, jewelry sales, vehicle maintenance, and many other behind the scene assistance, Hamanasi is able to provide support for the people and animals of Hopkins, and surrounding villages. We invite our guests to bring donations for HBHS when you come to visit Hopkins, or make a donation while you are here to directly benefit HBHS.

“Backpack Project – Another wonderful success”

by hamanasi on November 25, 2011

Hamanasi Backpack Project Continues… Thanks to all our guest that made a contribution whether big or small towards our Pack Back Project. More than seven dozen of back packs filled with school supplies were distributed to the less fortunate children of the Hopkins Holy Family Primary School.

From kinder to eight grade, the students that received a backpack were very happy and thankful for these thoughtful gifts.  A helpful hand goes a long way in a child’s learning and education!

Thank again to all the loving contributors who helped this project to be a success!
