St. Anne’s will be returning to southern Belize in 2012 to finish the Maya language radio station project they began in 2010. When complete, the radio tower will reach all of the towns and villages of southern Belize including Punta Gorda, the largest town. Southern Belize continues to experience extreme poverty; over 85% of the population is below the poverty line. The radio station will help coordinate development efforts of the Mayan population, the poorest ethnic group.
