Returning from Belize

Hey Everyone!

We finally made it back to Arkansas late on Saturday night. It was a very long day of traveling. Our last day in Dangriga was spent at the park conducting a fair for children. We spent all day playing games and dancing with kids from several different schools. It was a lot of fun! Everyone had a great time and it was nice seeing how excited the kids would get when they won prizes. 

Being back in the United States is nice. I like having air conditioning and being able to not have to wear bug spray, but I know I will miss the community that we left behind. Luckily we were able to establish new partnerships that will be carried on for future years. 

Anyway, the last bit of advice for my blog is that you should strongly consider this study abroad trip. It will show you how to be flexible, caring, and to learn how to interact with others. It will also allow you to experience the many cultures that thrive in such a small country. Even if you don't join the Public Health Team, participating in this program will allow you to meet so many new people and gain a new perspective on life. Thanks for sharing this experience with me and.....go razorbacks!
