Mother Nature's Best Kept Secret!

Here's a brief description of the new assignment I received from Peace Corps.

Country: Belize
Program: Community Conservation
Job Title: Environmental Educator
Dates of Service: Aug. 4, 2006- Aug. 3, 2008

The goal of this project is to promote initiatives of Belizean community members and organizations for the conservation of land and natural resources. The project works with community members to find opportunities where conservation can be partnered with income-generating activities. The project also provides support in increasing environmental awareness through the development and implementation of environmental education, both formal and non-formal.

The Peace Corps was founded in 1961 by John F. Kennedy and is guided by three goals:

*To help the people of interested countries in meeting their needs for trained men and women.

*To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.

*To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of all Americans.
