These are pictures from a village of about 100 people called Billy White. My first week in Belize I, along with
fellow PCV Jo, spent a day there to see what village life was like. Billy White, it turns out, is among the
poorest villages in Belize, and was a real eye opener. It was sad, but was also a blessing, because I met some
beautiful people and saw the reality of the third world. Here are pictures of a family Jo and I spent time with
that day. The children had never seen a white person before, but opened their house to us and made the day
memorable.
