Happy Valentine's day everybody! Its a pretty big deal down here in Belize, all the kids have come in pink, red, and white, and we just crowned the king and queen of Valentine's. Two of the teachers also get crowned, in this case, it was a couple of the volunteers who are in their third year here. Awesome.
Its pretty neat that people would be willing to give three years of their lives to others, especially since when there is so much pressure to start a paying career. Sometimes, it can feel like "my life" is on hold down here. Because Belize exists a world apart in many ways, sometimes its hard to see how your efforts will really impact the rest of your life, or even if they are doing any good. Its a leap of faith I guess. In the meantime, we are all plugging away; today, all the volunteers are celebrating Singles' Awareness Day (Have a happy SAD day!) by listening to sappy romantic songs and eating lots of cookies. (I'm reminding everybody that though we are single, we are not alone!) So have great day everyone, and keep us all in your prayers.
