Since some of you asked in the Weekend Plans post...
I'm heading to Belize tomorrow to do service work with a group for the next week! We'll be building a house and working with an orphanage, its the partnering of a grassroots organization with an international organization, and they do some really wonderful work in Belize City, they do everything from build homes for families, to building and maintaing preschools and offering young people scholarships/grants to continue attending (high)school. Its great to see such a strong emphasis on education and empowerment, rather than handouts and donations (which are helpful and needed, but not the entire solution!).
I hope you all have a wonderful week, I look forward to chatting when I get back.
Re: Adios Ladies!
Have a great trip! It sounds like an amazing experience.
I'd love to hear more about this when you get back. How did you get involved, have you done this before, etc?
WOW!! That is so awesome of you! I have so much respect for people who do service trips like that. I hope you have a great time! Enjoy the warm weather too haha.
