After waiting out an early morning rain storm, we walked from our hotel to Holy Cross early this morning, excited to be a part of San Pedro as it woke up. We arrived at the school to eat breakfast as many of the Holy Cross children were having their breakfast as well. Holy Cross is the only school in Belize to feed their students free of charge and the breakfast crowd gathers early.
We arrived at the school not knowing what was next, but soon met with several school staff members to plan our week at Holy Cross. After hearing specifics about what needed to be done at the school, each person in our group spent some time trying to find their own niche. As the day unfolded, Bill and Mike found themselves fixing roof soffits, Mark and Gene laid flooring, Lydia worked on teacher training, Jennifer was reunited with some of the children she taught last year and Laura worked her storytelling magic in the classroom.
Our group grew by one today when Philip Brown arrived via Tropic Air. Hooray!
The school has made significant progress in the last year, but there is still much work to be done. We feel so blessed to be able to contribute what we can.
