The AIESEC Life Connection: February 2024

Published on February 29, 2024

 

Dear AIESEC Alumni,

Our 2024 AIESEC Life Study Tour was UNBELIZABLE!!! We had an amazing 5 days diving into Belizean culture, soaking in stunning views, and trying out exciting adventures with our AIESEC friends!

Our tour was packed with Mayan temples, Garifuna drumming, exploring St. Herman's Cave in Blue Hole National Park, swimming with nurse sharks, and snorkeling in Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Though our service project was canceled due to rain, our donation to the Belize Audubon Society was greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who helped preserve Blue Hole National Park!

A special shoutout to our Belizean AIESECer, Oliver Dewgard! Thank you for graciously sharing your beautiful country with us.

Spending time with fellow AIESECers is undoubtedly a treat and ensures welcomed conversations and discussions. As we dive into spring, we encourage everyone to create local in-person events, join the Zoom calls and sign up for trips, so everyone can have this opportunity.

Explore our upcoming events, like AIESEC US' Spring Conference in the DC Area! More details below. Stay tuned for updates and surprises – with AIESEC, the adventure never stops!

Warm regards,

Jennifer Farley, Executive Director
