October: new conversations and preparation underway

Belize: Breaking Belize News and Plus TV

On October 16, Daniel and Analía spoke with Alexis Milan, editor of Breaking Belize News, about the expedition and its educational and community mission. The conversation opened opportunities for introductions to education, tourism and church contacts in Belize. Local visits and arrival dates are still being coordinated. Read the independent article published on October 23.

Following the October 7 conversation with Ljay Wade, Plus TV / Rise & Shine confirmed the description “interview and editorial collaboration” on October 16. We have requested links or recordings and will share coverage when available.

Television and reporting

On October 13, we took part in Hoy Mismo / Televicentro with Claudia Almendares. The interview is now available on YouTube with English subtitles. Potential WFMZ / 69 News coverage of the Freightliner preparation remains in coordination with the newsroom and BCTC; filming at the school and a broadcast are not confirmed.

Satellite safety and technical review

Roadpost / ZOLEO offered a loan device, activation and two months of service including Location Share+, accepting practical-use photos or raw clips instead of finished videos. Activation, coverage, return timing and final terms are being discussed. The device is not yet recorded as received or service as active.

Eberspächer has begun reviewing the Freightliner’s heating, defrost and cooling needs. Technical information is being gathered; equipment selection, any contribution and installation remain pending.

Preparation connects technical education, field safety and our educational and community mission. Travel through Mexico, Central America and South America is planned for 2027, with school visits and local activities to be developed with each community.

On October 14, 2026, we delivered our Freightliner FL80 6×6 to BCTC.

Inspection findings, repair scope and readiness for travel remain to be established.

We are grateful for the educational assistance provided. This acknowledgment reflects the work completed and does not describe MBIT as a sponsor or formal partner.

Support takes different forms. Dorman helped provide a replacement Jeep fuel tank, Davico offered the catalytic/Y-pipe assembly, and Linear Logic supplied a ScanGauge III. Products received, offers, technical assistance, purchases and discounts are recorded separately. No pending proposal is presented as a confirmed financial sponsorship.
