Belize: Day 15 (Gabrielle Garza)

The last two weeks have been a life changing experience and all of us are extremely appreciative of all the donations that were given to Students for Global Communication. We want to thank all of our sponsors for all of their generous help. Our service learning trip to Belize would have not been possible without our sponsors, family, friends, hard work and dedication, the Office of International Studies and our outstanding faculty advisor, Dr. Seitel.
