Planning for Belize


Hello everyone!  Welcome to our blog! We are the Students for Global Communication organization at Texas A&M University – Kingsville.   We have decided to start this little blog to share our story as we get ready to do our first service project in Belize.
First off, we’d like to share a little about ourselves and this organization.  We are all graduate students studying Speech Language Pathology at Texas A&M University Kingsville.  We have come together to start this organization because we are passionate about serving our global community.  We believe that the ability to communicate effectively is a human right and should be achievable and accessible to all.  Our organization’s goal is to provide speech therapy services and education to the under-served populations around the world.
As such, we are currently planning our first service trip to Belize.  We are very excited to work with the Belizian people and hope to develop a good relationship with the community we will be working with.  Since this is our first trip, our main purpose is to find out what the community’s needs are and provide those services accordingly.  There are currently no Speech Language Pathologists working in the area, so this is also a great opportunity to foster awareness of our field.
The exact location we will be staying at has yet to be finalized, but we will update information as we learn it.  Follow us to support our journey!
