Arkansas 180: Belize experience changes students lives

Listen to one student discuss her experience working for the Belize Community Development Program, a large-scale service-learning and community-development project focused on Dangriga and the surrounding Stann Creek District. Dozens of students and faculty members in disciplines as diverse as economics, biology, English, social work, engineering and agriculture have traveled to the small country to enhance the educational experience and to help improve the community. The experience has changed students lives in profound and lasting ways. For more information about the program, visit http://studyabroad.uark.edu/1409.htm or read Believe in Belize, a feature story in the Fall 2008 issue of Arkansas, the magazine of the Arkansas Alumni Association.
