Belize Mission 2011

We completed another amazing trip to Belize. This trip was special because it was made by 10 friends who became even better friends. David & Beth Gains, Greg, Annette & Shawn Sargent, Dawn Ficorilli, Joni Oakley, Glenn & Tamera Turndrup and David Ahuja teamed up to go serve the people of Belize.

We continued our initiatives in the local schools. We moved into a new community, Cristo Rey, just one mile away from San Pedro village which is our home base. In Cristo Rey we partnered with two of the local schools to install computer labs in both school. One school got a completely new computer lab. we instaled new tables and 10 computers. The internet was connected by the local telecom the day we left. We also installed 5 computers in a school that already had a few old computers. The group taught some classes to the teachers and the students. Our second project was to have fun with Vacation Bible School. It was a huge success with over 50 kids turning out to have fun and to learn about the love of God. We also did some light construction work. We installed two basketball backboards and we did some construction work at a local tortilla factory.

On this trip we learned to understand patience. The trip started out with many challenges. June is the start of the rainy season in Belize and boy did it rain. We had monsoon like rain fall for 3 days. We worked in mud! but in one day the sun came out dried everything and we were able to accomplish all our tasks ...

Belize Mission 2011

Changing the world is about loving each other. To do this we need to learn and understand each other and this hopefully leads to an appreciation of our unique differences. As we travel the world we need to also learn and understand the new cultures and strive to build relationships. Love is the most powerful gift we all have...if we could break down the barriers that prevent us from loving each other ...and if everyone loved and respected each other...together we can change the world. Peace and Love.
