Aside from the beautiful scenery, there is one thing that has really found a place in the bond between all of us here… The food! There has not been a meal that is even half bad in Belize. Every morning, afternoon and evening we have amazing Belizean homemade meals which have hints of coconut flavors and the perfect amount of spice. At every location, we get a taste of the cooks’ home with their special onion sauce that all have a unique touch to them. It’s a sure way to spice up your life!
The day progressed and all the student clinicians set up an open clinic at a local church in the village of Succotz. At the open clinic, we were able to provide speech and language screenings and assessments to the children and adults in the village. It was truly a great and rewarding way to end our service in the city of San Ignacio. The clinic days that we are having are giving us such a unique learning experience that I trust that I will miss this when we leave here.
The picture of a playground was significant to me because it shows the rawness of the village. This is the outside of the local preschool that most children attend. I just find that there is so much happiness regardless of the circumstances and so many people can take away from seeing this
joyfulness.
