Antonio, the Community Health Worker (CHW) in my village, has had a rich history with Peace Corps Volunteers throughout his life.

I first set foot on Jamaican soil on August 1, 1976, living and working in St. Mary until June 1, 1978. I did not return to the island until 38 years later. 

Belizean-American, Christophe, is currently serving as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer in Peace Corps Zambia! 

When I came to my village, I met the nurse who seemed unmotivated and overwhelmed with work. 

Malnutrition is a significant problem being faced by many Q’eqchi Mayan communities across southern Belize. 

Like many communities in Belize, one of the major problems in my village was the prevalence of littering and lack of environmental values. 

My GLOW counterpart and I had been wanting to do a session with the girls where we discussed puberty, nutrition, our bodies, and menstruation. 

When discussing projects with the village council and school personnel, I suggested a Tilapia-farming project. 

The beginning of 2017 kicked off the implementation phase of my community’s Latrine Project.
