Deposits in for Belize! Moving forward

Our program has been progressing and we are happy to announce we have paid our first two deposits and will be going to Belize. As of right now we are 8 graduate students and 2 undergraduate students for Texas A&M University-Kingsville. We will be going to Belmopan, Belize and studying at the University of Belize.
Right now we are in the process of translating a speech and language screening tool – the Fluharty Preschool Speech and Language  Screening Test into Belizean Kriol. We will be collecting different resources and making an online sharing portal that can be used with professionals and families in Belize.
We will be attending the University of Belize where we will be getting lectures from the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health. We will be doing 6 days of service learning at sites the University arranges. We hope these sites will provide us with ideas on what they think they need and we can assist them.
It has been a hard and long journey to even get this far but we are finally seeing our project come together.
We are asking for donations from anyone interested in helping us pay for our trip and mission.
