A group of Marquette students and staff will be traveling to Punta Gorda, Belize, to participate in the International Marquette Action Program, tentatively scheduled for January 4 - 14, 2012.
Participants will prepare for the trip throughout the spring and fall semester for the cultural and social justice issues which will be encountered in Belize. This is an immersion trip. To immerse is to "plunge into, or to absorb deeply." Those participating on this trip cannot but help to immerse themselves into the culture, language, lifestyle, social justice and spirituality of the people of Belize.
This unique cultural exchange is likely to affect those who participate, leaving them undoubtedly changed and more aware of themselves and their greater connection to the people of this planet.
