Belize Trip

My fiancee Lauren and I are leaving to Belize on December 28th, 2008 till May 21, 2009 and I am beginning a new set of blogging related to my work in Belize. We are arriving in Punta Gorda on January 3rd after a small bit of traveling. On January 5th Lauren and I are beginning our work, Lauren as a grade 2 teacher and I am volunteering with an NGO called TIDE (Toledo Institute for Development and Environment). As of now I have been assigned a couple of projects. One is researching and vamping a management plan for an area called Port Honduras Marine Reserve and the other is organizing and planning a soccer tournament for children where they are required to submit an environmental project in order to enter the tournament. I am really excited to begin working and to work on an area that I am passionate about. On this blog I am going to talk about some of my work and our trip in Belize.
