Donations for the Public Schools

Thursday, April 29th, 2010 | No Comments

Update on the islands largest public school (Roman Catholic School ) . We have many public schools here on the island  , we choose to help this school because they are the most in need of supplies . We have many private schools that are not adequately funded . This school has over 875 students ,  (Holy Cross) a school across the bridge has taken many children this year . This has helped

Palapa finished recently By Ms. Eve , nice job Eve . We are so happy to see our community pitch in and get things done . You are my hero ,

Here is the new kitchen finished by Eve and Kate , this was done first , then Eve tackled the Palapa .

I would say they are very happy children , they always make my day.

For Large donations contact someone here in San Pedro , we will contact the appropriate people , we will make it a breeze .

Big thanks to Jim and Susie , for the supplies . We thank you for your wonderful donation , The 5 subject note  books were a hit  . Mrs. Kay was thrilled , she immediately said the 5 subject notebooks will go to the teachers , and the 1 subject notebooks to the kids . Jim and Susie were very generous , this suitcase was filled (paper is heavy) . Thank -you , unfortunately I was off island on business and did not get a chance to meet you guys . XX

Contributions :   We will be happy to facilitate your donation . Remember , paper is heavy and it is the thought that counts .

The future of Belize will soon be in there hands.

We need educational tools like flash cards ,  Sticky Notes are a luxury for the principal and administration . Composition books  , rulers , PENCILS , erasers , Pens ,  band-aids , vitamins , are the easiest and needed the most . Volunteers and teachers are always welcome , contact us ;  we will put you in touch with the administration .  Next time you go to the Dentist ask for a donation for the kids . We have friends come down with boxes of toothpaste and floss , they simply asked (very generous doctor) . May your generosity come back to you 100 Times . Thanks-again Tim

Volunteer Firefighters in San Pedro Practice for perfection . You guys ROCK

Our community has worked hard to get this hardware ,  this was donated from one of our sister cities .

The truck is designed to pump water from all available water sources , canals , ponds , ocean and our hydrants around town .

I plan to go down and see the chief and thank him and the guys . They took this drill very seriously and performed well . My personal opinion is this is what makes Belize – VOLUNTEERISM ,  hard work ,  friendship and Belizean Pride . Thanks guys for risking your lives for our community , may your goodwill  come back to you 100 (X)  times . They have been practicing regularly now for some time . I am sure they could use some help and equipment , hint , hint . The Chief is the best we have had, can’t wait to meet him.
