Our second annual Students for Global Communication service-learning trip to Belize was a success! We would first and foremost like to thank all who contributed to getting us here. A special thank you to Doctors Hospital at Renaissance, Tindol Construction, Kingsville Noon Rotary Club, and Valdez Trucking. This trip would not have been possible without your generous contributions!
To the principal, teachers and students at Stella Maris School, thank you for welcoming us with open arms. Your students have left a lasting impression on each of us and we look forward to the opportunity to work with each of you again someday.
This trip would not have run as smoothly without Ewart, our representative from the University of Belize. Thank you for setting up our tours, meals, accommodations, and our visit at Stella Maris School.
We would also like to thank those from TAMUK who helped us in our travels to Belize. President Tallant who let Dr. Al and Brittany Ambriz present to the President’s Circle. Marilou Salazar and Debbie Cruz from International Studies who made all of the arrangements and followed us while we were here.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Alan Seitel and Professor Melissa Garcia for leading us on this amazing journey and sharing their knowledge of speech-language pathology with each of us! The two of you have led us through an experience that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.
To all of our parents, family and children, thank you for your continuous support before and during our travels. This trip would not have been possible without a strong and loving support group back in the U.S. We love you all and look forward to being with you again!
This trip has gone as quickly as it has come, but the memories will last forever! Each of us has grown as students and clinicians throughout this trip. We came with supplies and materials to improve language intervention in the classroom, but the students and teachers at Stella Maris gave us so much more than we could have imagined. This trip has been an unBelizeable experience that we will cherish throughout our careers as speech-language pathologists!
