Thank You...


Dear Facilitators,

I am sending this to Sandra to post because I do not know how to do it my self. I probably needed to sit in one of your technology classes!

By know you all are either loving Belize or counting the days.  You are all experiencing the frustrations that we face on a daily basis.  There is a reason that we have Belizean time and that is because we march to the tune of a different drummer.  We are at the mercy of so many factors that are out of our control, that we just cope. 

As Ernesto showed us all, we are at the mercy of the weather.  As our internet shows we are at the mercy of BTL.  The Ministry is severely understaffed and under-equipped; communication is often misunderstood or missing.  The Ministry is doing their best and we have seen steady improvements.

Each and every one of you taught teachers who are eager learn your techniques to improve their teaching skills. They want to give the children of Belize the best education possible.

We are a young Country we did not become Belize until 1973. We have much to learn.  We appreciate the time you have dedicated and the talent you have shared. We are very grateful to each and every one of you.

Thank you,
Sheree & Aki

Belizean Yoga- Staying Flexible and Patient


Despite all the changes and shuffling and being unannounced in some places, today has been an interesting day.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Weekend plans stand unless conditions are still an issue.  

I can't figure out how to load a photo so here's the one of the Cayo participants.  Video and details to follow.  Our guys sang "Oh, Canada" acapello and did a great service to Canada.  It will go on the BLP Facebook page.  

My house is on a hill that is part of the foothills of the Maya mountains and I'm starting to get wind and rain bands.  The plants are off the railing on my porch and the chairs and low tables are now in the dining room.
