Things are moving along in Blue Creek! Tumul K'in has been a very welcoming community and we are excited to be here for the next two years. Our counterparts are amazing and have been giving us lots of ideas to work with regarding capacity building and board development. It is an exciting time to get to work with an NGO like this in Belize.
Living with a host family is coming to a close, and we will miss them terribly. Between cooking and eating with the family of 12, watching movies and telling stories under the star-filled night sky has been a wonderful way to spend the evenings. The Choco family has become a very special part of our lives.
Homesickness comes and goes, but our amazing families have been very supportive and sent wonderful packages (to our new address, listed above, *hint, hint*, and by the way, I love Starburst, ground Italian Roast Starbucks coffee, and letters from friends).
We are so grateful to be a part of the Peace Corps in Belize and we hope to do great things here. The friends we have made here are going to be lifelong, and we trust that the work that they do will be just as enduring. I promise to get better at updating this blog, and as soon as things settle down in our new home (moving next week!) I'll try to get into the habit. We are officially in "Peace Corps Blogs," so I don't want to let down our many fans. Thanks for reading Mom!
Best,
Danny
