In case you are wondering, here is a general itinerary for my trip, though it is subject to change:
May 21-23 My fiancé Josh and I flew into Guatemala City and stayed with a friend working for Mennonite Central Committee, a relief organization.
May 23-29 Though the whole trip will be a learning experience, this portion is devoted particularly to studying Belize- culture, politics, social welfare. My goal is to visit social service organizations and learn about social work opportunities here. I also have a stack of books to read up on international social work and history and culture of Belize in particular.
May 30-June 5 This part is my traveling time with my aunt, cousin, and sister. While it will be less “academic” in nature, I am sure my learning will continue and I will post when possible.
June 6-8 Return to Guatemala City, hopefully including a visit to the social work department of University of Belize. Finally, a long bus back to Guatemala City and a plane ride home on June 8th.
