Getting Ready for Belize 2011

      I can't believe we are getting ready to leave to go to Belize again!  It seems like we just got back.  We have 18 undergrads and 6 graduate students going this year.  Dennis and I have another faculty member joining us as a trip leader--Brianne Reck.  She will come down around April 9 with the grad students.  Their mission will be to offer professional development to the teachers in San Pedro.  We are also anticipating visitors from UNCW's Office of International Programs and Wilmington's Sister-City group.  It should be a busy time.
     I finally got the ABC's of Belize book published that our students wrote last year.  Check it out on http://www.lulu.com/.
     When the semester starts again (January) we will begin our monthly meetings to prepare for our work in San Pedro. This year we hope to use a new elementary school for our students.  The Roman Catholic School is a public school and we will place at least half the elementary interns there.
