We made it to Belize 2023 Day 1 & 2
Our International youth Council and mentors have been on the ground for just two days and they have been going non-stop.
When they arrived they were met curbside with a welcome sign.
They checked into their hotel had lunch and were off riding horses in the jungle of Belize. The next day they embraced the history and culture of the Ancient Lamanai Mayan Ruin where they climbed the tumbs. Next they boarded a speed boat to explore true Belize nature by water. Stopping to see alligators, snakes, birds, and damage from a recent hurricane. They ended the day with a surprise
