Phew, I am glad last week is over and Monday is almost here to start fresh. As many of you know, me and my housemates experienced an attempted break in on Tuesday night.
Thankfully, no one was hurt and nothing was stolen. I had just been dropped off from another volunteer when I heard loud banging inside my house. I stepped away from my door and then saw the guy coming from behind my house. I yelled to him, he looked at me and then fled to the back of the house and jumped the barb wired fence. Unfortunately it was getting dark and I didn't get a good enough description (other than dark skin, 5'6", petite build...that doesn't narrow it down to much here).
I live on one side of a duplex and on the other side are short term volunteers.
The police were notified and came to investigate . Fingerprints were taken off the sliding glass door.
We had a burglar bar that was ripped out of the frame. On the other side of the duplex, the door handle was broken right off. Who ever it was, was very determined to get in. The ironic thing is, is we are all volunteers. We don't have a TV, phone, or any electronics. No money either. So, who knows what they were going for. Maybe just the fact that they knew we were non Belizean was enough to make us a target.
The two other volunteers are staying at the convent. I am staying with another long term volunteer family. I must say, it is a bit nicer since it's right on the water.
I am asking for your prayers as the board decides how they are going to proceed with things. (i.e. housing).
Please know that I am safe and the neighborhood is irate about this. They know the house I live in is for the "Hillside Volunteers". We are well known in the community.
