Yesterday was the first day of our January Belize Fight Poverty Team (FPB). The members are myself (Brian), Andra, Hyun Jong, Sonny J and our team leader Anthony. We started by going over the Fight Poverty manual and starting Espanol class. Today we all gave an autobiography, it is important to get to know each other in depth to begin to strengthen our relationships for our future adventures.
I think one of the biggest challenges and one of the most essential will be to learn Spanish. Although Belize is 50/50 Spanish and English I hear most of the people speak Spanglish. Also for our investigation in which it sounds like we will be flying to either Costa Rica or Panama then traveling around Central America, Spanish is the main language.
Our future plans for FPB will be more Spanish classes, investigations in poverty stricken America (specifically Michigan) and fundraising preparations.
