And We're Off!

We are packed and ready for another adventure in Belize!  The bad news is that our flight leaves at 5:55 a.m. on Saturday (ugh!). The good news is that after a brief layover in Atlanta, we land in Belize around noon!   It will be nice to arrive at the retreat center (a five hour drive from Belize City) and unload our mountain of supplies in daylight.

We have a very busy week planned, here are the highlights:
  1. Teach in four village schools (Blue Creek, Otoxha, Corazon Creek and San Lucas). Teaching health/hygiene, water cycles, fun math activities, art, religion, and STEM activities.
  2.  Paint the inside of the new Catholic church in Corazon Creek.
  3.  Lay a tile floor in the Catholic church in Otoxha.
  4. Try to determine the problem and repair the water system in Otoxha.
  5. Meet with our 10 high school scholarship students and their parents.
  6.  Play bingo and have fun at a program for seniors at the new Senior Center in Punta Gorda (we worked on building the center over several previous trips).
   7.  Meet with families of two children needing surgery for serious medical concerns.
   8.  Give a presentation on Internet safety at the high school in Corazon Creek.
   9. Attend a social event in San Marcos (where we built a playground last June).

Whew! I'm exhausted just reading all that!  Please keep us in your prayers as we touch the lives of friends, old and new, in Belize.
