Video

I thought I would post videos so people could get some sense of what goes on down here in Belize. To read about some of this is one thing, but to actually see it is another. So I hope you all enjoy these videos.




Man on his way to work crossing a flooded bridge, while carrying his boots, a gun AND his bike. No big deal. What route do you take to work?

100 Days

So I only have about 100 days left in the Peace Corps. Pretty crazy. School let out for the summer vacation. I am working on creating a Leader Manual for the It's Up To Me program. One of my main concerns is long-term sustainability, but with a Student Workbook, a Leader's Manual and the support of the Principal, the program should stick around for a long time. The school received a replacement Peace Corps volunteer to continue some of the work with the program and for our first project together we are building a trellis over the garden. I thought it would be cool if we could turn the gardening area into a permanent gardening area.

Julie and I are going to Tulum, Mexico for our last vacation next month.

COS conference is coming up in July.

My official COS date is September 22, 2010.
