The UofL International Service Learning team for 2008 is a terrific group of UofL students, faculty and administrators. The interdisciplinary service learning teams include students from Dentistry, Education, Communication, Justice Adminstration, and Engineering.
We will be in Belize for one very full week. The trip includes some cultural and fun time at the Mayan Ruins called Xunantanich and snorkling on the barrier reef. However, the majority of our time will be spent working in a small Mayan village called Red Bank located in southern Belize. The remote village situated right at the edge of the rain forest has a population of about 1400.
The team has many projects planned:
* Dental Clinic
* Community Interview Project
* Workshops on Bullying and Conflict Resolution
* Teaching and Work in Schools - Science, Health, Mathematics, Computer and Writing
* Health Classes for Women
We will post information and photos each day of our trip. Please send notes and comments back to the the team. This will be our way to stay in touch with our friends and family while we are on the trip. For you new bloggers, just click on comments and submit your note to the team.
