May 25, 2014 - Back in Belize

We arrived safely with our family in Belize City last Sunday, May 18.  We were able to meet with physicians on the 18th, and the A&E staff at Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, as well as the BERT (Belize Emergency Response Team) staff on the 19th.  Since we have been in San Pedro, I had the opportunity to speak to the freshman classes at San Pedro High School about STD's and abstinence and Mark and two of our sons spoke to a group of at-risk youth at the High School about Substance Abuse.

  We've made contact with some of the former VoTech students who live in San Pedro.  They are all working long hours but are thankfully, gainfully employed!  Growing older-yikes!

Today and tomorrow our family heads back to the US and Mark and I will go back to the mainland.  Bob  arrives tomorrow afternoon to finish the EMT training in Spanish Lookout that Pat  started earlier in May.  Joy, MD, is also in-country.  She will attend a meeting with us on Tuesday at the Ministry of Health, and perhaps another meeting at KHMH on Wednesday.  We plan to help Bob  with EMT training as needed.

Many thanks for your prayers!  Please continue to lift up everyone as we travel into and about the country.  Pray for effective teaching and communication with everyone!  Blessings, Moira
