Ambergris Caye Elementary School, ACES, believes every child has a basic human right to an education. However, as a private non-profit school which receives no government funding we depend on a small tuition and donations to operate our facility. We now house approximately 115 students, of those enrolled students, 26 students depend on donations to pay for their education with a waiting list of students which grows daily.
Children are the future of our world and young minds need guidance and nurturing to reach their fullest potential. In this small island community of San Pedro there are still many children who still are not able to find space in government schools. Each year ACES tries to accomodate more children who cannot find space in other schools, yet this means the cost of providing education to these children continues to escalate.
During this holiday season of giving we are hoping to be able to defray this ever rising operating cost. Only through the help of others, like yourself, can we resolve this ever present deficit. We encourage you to be generous and send a child to school. What better gift could you give to an underprivledged child than an education!
