Update from Tobacco Caye!

Our group had a wonderful time in the village of Armenia. We repaired and painted the swingsets, installed new black boards, painted the library floor and even tutored the kids! Everyone worked incredibly hard and the Heritage Hall girls left quite an impact on the community! The homestays were wonderful! Everyone really bonded with their host family and there were many happy memories made at the community dinner. The team really connected with the Armenian people and we are thinking through ways to continue to fund raise and create awareness in order to impact this village and its school for many years to come.
We are now drying off from our afternoon snorkel at Tobacco Caye! We are in paradise! The team explored beautiful coral reefs, tropical fish, and even a barracuda or two--all as we learn about the effects of global warming on this fragile ecosystem.
Tomorrow we will continue our marine snorkeling expedition in both the afternoon and at night! This trip has far exceeded all of our expectations and the students can't wait until next Spring Break~~
