It’s been a busy, hectic and exciting bunch of days since I last updated anything on here.. First, we spent three days in the field, travelling to the most remote villages in Toledo district to speak to people and health workers in the communities and assess the situation of women and children.. I have quitw a lot of photos and will share some as soon as time allows me to. I got rubber boots to get by and it was the best purchase of the year, I could go anywhere, climb muddy hills and cross rivers – awesome!

I flew back to Belize City on Thursday, washed everything, went to the office, packed, and took a flight to New York on Friday morning.

In New York I attended the UNICEF Global Communication Team Meeting along with over 170 participants from more than 90 countries, where the first ever UNICEF Global Communication and Public Advocacy Strategy was presented and discussed in preparation for the big launch.

I spent 10 days in New York, and apart from working, learning, meeting exciting people, and going for a bunch of brown bag lunches, I met with some of my good friends who live in the city and got the opportunity to spend some time with Luc, eat wonderful food, go dancing, see the super exciting play “Sleep no More”, and buy stuff, clothes and gadgets to keep me entertained for the rest of the year.

Then the much dreaded Tuesday of good bye’s came.. and I took an early morning flight to Miami for a 3 hour sushi overlay, (the sushi in Miami airport is actually really good – no kidding!) and got back to Belize City early enough to get all my laundry done and bags unpacked while it was still Eid al Fitr which is a UN holiday. Being back home was good. And sweaty.

Today was a day full of work. And then, at 5.30pm I suddenly realized that it was Wednesday, and rushed to my Danza Revelation class where my dancing buddies welcomed me back with hugs and smiles and we danced ourselves sweaty, happy and ready to take on another set of adventures.

Wonderful!!
