Welcome to post #1 of my attempt at a Belize travel blog!I am leaving bright, early, and weather-permitting tomorrow morning for Punta Gorda, Belize. (Click on the map at left to enlarge. Punta Gorda is in the Toledo district in southern Belize.)
Once there, three other University of Wisconsin medical students and I will be spending four week volunteering at Hillside Healthcare Clinic, a non-profit medical mission serving southern Belize. For more information about Hillside Healthcare International, and to see pictures of the clinic, check out http://www.hillsidebelize.org/main.html.
During the week, I will be working at the Hillside Clinic location caring for patients, traveling on mobile clinic visits to rural areas, as well as contributing to a project surveying nutritional needs in the area. The weekends are free for fun, sun, and travel! When possible, I will post news and pictures of both activities.
My goal is to update every few days. Please feel free to message or comment if you'd like to hear more!
Finally, I have to give credit to Sean for my blog title. Thanks friend.
I'm waiting for an update. -Kyle
