My placement during training with a youth group is with the San Ignacio Police Cadets. They are mostly boys and a few girls ranging in age from 8-17. It reminds me a lot of ROTC for kids, but not as serious. They do a lot of community service and march in parades and such.
It doesnt seem as serious as ROTC because the focus is not on the military but creating a way for kids to respect the police and enjoy what they are doing while learning quality life skills along the way.
They have a cheer they say over and over again that goes a little something like this:
"Motivation Check"
"We Got it"
"Life is good"
"All the time"
"All the time"
"Life is good"
It was neat to say the least and I look forward to working with them even though it is only a short time. We will probably get to march with them in the Independence Day Parade on the 21st at the front of the parade with the police. Our co-worker, Mr. Medina is very excited and proud of the cadets. He showed us about 400 pictures of what they have done in the past from sleeping to community service to marching.
I'll try to get some pictures up here soon with some stuff to show everyone the beauty of Belize. The only difference is the pictures dont show the temperature... or the humidity.
