nathan and update

Nathan, brain researcher and high school all state track star, is coming to visit! We'll pick him up at the Dangriga airport in a few hours.

In other news: all major logistics are ready to go so that all 65 coming and going Arkansas will have places to sleep in hotels (3 in Dangriga, 1 in San Ignacio, and 2 in Caye Caulker), ways to get around (buses, minibus, and van), and food to eat.

Right now we're just trying to work out the day to day schedules for all of the teams.

The projects that are happening are: engineering (surveying in Dangriga, health education in Bella Vista, and work on the water system of Steadfast), social work (self esteem, domestic violence, conflict resolution, and alternative discipline seminars to teachers and community members), ecology (work on a 5-year management plan for a national park in Steadfast), business tourism (brochure and a long term plan for tourism development in Dangirga), business seminars (to teach about basic business plans), business microloans (a feasibility study on microloaning in Stann Creek District), economic literacy (teaching business and math to Standard 4 and 5 students of Dangriga), agriculture (school farm in Pomona), and literacy (working with family groups and students).
