We depart in less than a week! With months and months of preparation behind us, our final day of preparation is Sunday. At this point, most of the preparing is done. Sunday will mostly be time to ensure we have all of the supplies for our surgical, medical and construction teams and that they're packed correctly to ensure safe arrival in Belize.
Who would have thought there's so much strategy in packing! We have over 100 boxes, packages or suitcases filled with critical supplies -- surgical instruments, medical equipment, medicine, circular saws, hammers, nails, clothing...and MUCH more. It has to be packed to ensure the weight is under certain maximums. It's also important to "spread things out" just in case one box or suitcase is misplaced.
Check back for a few more posts prior to departure. I'll share more about the people and area we're serving, the country of Belize and our team.

Jeff,
Last year your blog was a great way for those "back home" to stay connected with our activities.
Thank you for chronicling the 2009 trip. I still get emotional when I see the final shot in last year's video depicting the guys securing the cross atop Rafael's church
