Day one in Belize

Our trip is finally here! Please follow our journey through Belize.

We have an exciting agenda during our two week stay in Belize.  The first few days will be spent planning and becoming accustomed to Belize culture followed by lectures on health and education policies in Belize. The second week will be spent completing a service learning project at Stella Maris School a school for children with disabilities in Belize City.

We flew from Corpus Christi airport to Dallas where we met with 7 students and faculty advisor Melissa Garcia from Texas A&M International University who are joining us on our Belize trip. The flight to Belize was a quick 2.5 hours and we were greeted by our guide Ewart from the University of Belize international studies office. We arrived at Princess Hotel and Casino for the night. We will be going to San Pedro Island in the morning by water taxi to study the sand composition on the beach and indigenous aquatic life. This evening we will be doing an intensive cultural study of the New Year’s Eve traditions in Belize.
Spirits are high and we are all looking forward to our journey!
