Bridging Cultures: Turning Winds' Transformative Journey in Belize

Turning Winds Season 2 Episode 13

This is what it sounds like when teens step out of their comfort zones and change lives in the process.

In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl connects with Program Director Carl Baisden live from Belize. Carl offers an inside look at Turning Winds’ international service trip, where students supported a remote village school while gaining powerful lessons in connection, gratitude, and global citizenship.

From deep-sea fishing and exploring ancient Mayan ruins to hand-building a classroom for students without proper facilities, this trip was more than cultural exposure. It was transformative. Carl shares how students overcame language barriers, witnessed the realities of rural poverty, and discovered that happiness and fulfillment are not dependent on material wealth.

Whether you are a parent considering treatment for your teen or someone who believes in the value of meaningful service, this episode will leave you feeling inspired.
