Hello every body! Well, we did it, we finally are official Peace Corps Volunteers! Our Swearing In Ceremony was held on October 22 at the Belize Governor General's House in Belmopan. A great time was had by all.
Since we will be living in the Garifuna cultural capital of Belize, Alyson and I decided to represent by wearing traditional Garifuna outfits. My shirt is called a "Dashiki" and Alyson's skirt is called a Gu'du and the style of her blouse is called a mannin.
There are a total of 40 Volunteers in our training class that will be posted all though out Belize - doing everything from training teachers, to helping start small businesses. It really is great to be part of such an amazing group of people.
