Today was a really long yet very productive day!In the morning, I gave a motivational talk to the students of Alvin Young high school who want to study abroad.It was cool to share my experience as an international student studying at MVNU and encourage those who wanted to apply for college in the U.S or any other country . I was able to give a scholarship contact information of the Director of the Belize Education Excellence Society to the students so that they can apply for academic scholarships.We got to install four solar panels; two at Victoria Nazarene School and and two the Log Cab-Inn. Installing solar panels is not an easy thing. It takes a lot of wiring, time under the sun, and climbing roofs! Not to mention that today the weather was 93F, plus the roof are all metal so it was super hot! Putting together two ladders to make it to the Victoria Nazarene School roof was a very dangerous thing but somehow we managed to attach the two ladders and made it to the roof of the two story building. At the campground, Doug was able to fix the WiFi connection at Victoria Nazarene School and at the Cafeteria. We now have access to Internet were we are staying! We ended the evening by observing a breathtaking sunset from the campground! God is awesome!

Taking the panels up to the roof and yes this was the two dangerous ladders we managed to tie together with a rope.
