A Continuation of the
Independent Humanitarian Effort by
The Organization
We’ve been delivering our support services primarily by bike and on foot in the incredible jungle villages of Northern Belize, and digitally to the US, as well as other parts of the world. Most of our services are done in the homes and community buildings of villagers; consulting with families on information, projects, and modes of healing that are most useful to them. So far, our team has successfully supported thousands of people in remote and underserved areas with their wellness, health, and general life challenges.
In 2024, we built a mobile team, capable of providing services to thousands more.
Whether Digitally or In-Person, we offer
Dynamic Support
and purposeful volunteer opportunities
Our volunteers use their passions compassionately!
We call upon them as needed to consult, provide services, strategize, and assist with the execution of projects that make life-changing shifts for people who have been struggling to find balance.
Contact us if you'd like to support our effort by providing your skill, interest, training, labor, or serviceThe 1st mobile effort focused on
hands-on,
360° wellness support
The Enduring Empathy Wellness Adventures Vehicle is equipped with an onboard workshop, apothecary, first-aid, and everything needed to allow our team to be mobile. We are able to connect digitally and in person, with skilled people who offer their talents in creating solutions to difficult situations. By bridging the gap between the modern and ancient approaches, we empower a “do what you can with what you have where you are” mentality and share the ingenuity of people around the world for inspiration.
* Our adventure is going global!
Long term, Wellness Adventures will be conducted around the globe: showcasing the successes and challenges of people living in every situation imaginable. These adventures center on project-based humanitarianism and global networking focused on utilizing skill sets.
* We will be using these buses to access remote regions that need support!
We will be offering general support: putting our skills, and that of our network, to good use in our global community. This includes topics of health, mental health, environmental and communal sustainability, buildings and structures, permaculture/food forestry, general farming/gardening, and at-home adjustments that improve quality of life and living.
WHO WE ARE:
HUMANITARIAN HEARTS
The Core Team
After spending 3.5 years in a wheelchair, and having been very ill for years, Allie found her way to better health in the Winter of 2016/Spring of 2017 with the help of some creative, committed people who shared their talents and skills with her. Utilizing the ingenuity of her community, they asked the question "How CAN we improve upon this?" and proactively set out to do just that. Allie went from someone who suffered up to 8 dislocations a day, to someone who can handle the tasks of a farm, help build a house, and physically provide support to Belizeans for the last many years. She is passionate about the can-do approach of creating solutions.
She offers bodywork, apothecary items, specialty remedies, and in-home assessment and strategy. Quite often she acts as a consultant in a variety of areas, including permaculture, passive farming systems, life-cycle education, and anatomical and physiological education. Allie Baumeister has been providing education to injured and ill people, which allows them to create a more profound healing experience at home. The support she offers aligns with the gentle healing paths of the body, maintains cultural relevance, and is rooted in the belief that our bodies want to heal, expand, and develop.
Kevin's history of compassionate connection is probably best characterized by the 300-person group he created while in college. He formed a social network among his classmates that allowed them to lean on one another, and more consciously work with each other to create wellness around them. From hanging out with like-minded people to finding help - Kevin saw the need for a dynamic and interactive network to be born, so he created it. Going forward, Kevin's vision helps us shape the vision of our Enduring Empathy network, and solidify the bonds between people within it, and affected by it. His history and contribution help us consider how we can best affect global wellness, with who we are and what we have today.
EJ is 17 now and a great stop-motion, digital, and illustration artist. He is passionate about challenging himself to new skill sets and enjoyed teaching in his earlier years. EJ has helped care for and rehab hundreds of animals. Today, the connections he is building with other artists are rooted in the awareness that it takes all kinds to create life: and all life is sacred. He is a wonderful support system for other artists, and currently helps our team with communications and media..

Achieving Growth
In 2017, after overcoming some major challenges in life, Allie and EJ Baumeister set off with a group of friends who all had useful skill sets, and began asking "how can we help?" The journey led them to Belize, where they began offering many different kinds of support to Belizean villagers of the small 450-person community of Copper Bank. These first six months had such a deep impact on their family, that they came back to live a full-time life of humanitarian service. Ever since, our work has been supported by incredible people, and through it all we've teamed up with hundreds of compassionate humans, organizations, and businesses to deliver intimate, first-person support to remote areas of Northern Belize:
all thanks to our amazing collaborators and sponsors.
We've seen incredible acts of resilience and offered help in times of deep need and sorrow. Our environmental projects have made beautiful shifts and our humanitarian work has remained flexible to the people we serve. In 2024 we became a mobile unit, capable of helping thousands upon thousands more with our primary objective at heart:
To do what we can with what we have, where we are, compassionately.
Our Wellness Adventures Bus is aimed at sparking a global network of active and social do-goodery, and project-based humanitarianism. We envision a fleet with which we can embark on Wellness Adventures worldwide. We are filming and offering support unique to the needs of the region we're in. These expeditions will find us learning from locals’ experiences and challenges, holding fun and educational events that engage minds and bodies, and providing one-on-one and communal support to create greater balance in the lives of those struggling. We believe that we create better communities by intentionally showing up as better community members!
Our team takes heart in showing up to the conversation of
"how do we create balance, together?"
Thank you for making our passion for compassionate action a greater reality.
Sincerely,
Allie Baumeister
Co-Founder, Humanitarian, Human
