So after all these weeks of bucket baths, today was the dedication of the new potable water system (we leave tomorrow so we will get one real shower). The Belizean Prime Minster Dean Barrow came and here is a picture of Peace Corps trainees with him. Today is Mother's Day in Belize and they honored all the mother's in the village with special notice of the Peace Corps mothers--we were honored with gifts and lunch. Here is the picture of us with the PM.
This village has an incredible spirit and history--they are 100% Yucateca Maya and everyone speaks three languages well--Maya, Spanish and English.
I am also posting a photo of my host family making earrings with the materials I brought; not only did the teenage girls have a great time but the very young children intently strung beads.
Hey Dina,
ReplyDeleteYour placement looks awesome. I am so happy for you. It was nice to see pics, etc. I can't believe your training time is over. Time is passing quickly.
