On my way

hey everyone! in my preparation to leave for Belize I've decided a blog would be a good way to keep everyone updated on my whereabouts and experiences. I leave tomorrow a.m. for my two year experience as a JV (Jesuit Volunteer), in Punta Gorda, Belize. But before heading back to Central America I will spend two weeks in orientation preparing, and meeting the entire 2008 class of JV's. But first a quick introduction, PG is in the southern most district of Belize, Toledo. While in Belize I will be living with three other JV's, and working as a guidance counselor in the local public high school, Toledo Community College (in Belize college is the name for our high school). The details of my daily life are as much a mystery to me as they are to you, so i really don't have that much more information to share. But hopefully my two week orientation, which begins on Sunday at John Carroll University, will shed some light on the next two years. Hopefully through this blog and emails, I'll be able to explain my life as a volunteer and hear about everyone's adventures both at home and abroad!
