Sponsor a Special Education Student

On April 26, 2015, Ambergris Caye Elementary School, (ACES), took a giant step forward in raising the awareness of our Special Needs Program on the island of Ambergris Caye, Belize.  Not only for our school and our program but raising the awareness for individuals in our community and the need for more resouces for these members of our society.  On April 26th we held our first annual 5K Walk/Run for Awareness.  The event was a huge success with more than 200 runners/walkers together with the partiicpation and support of many business and organizations in the community.

The electricity and excitement that flowed through this small town on that morning was contagious!  For those who weren't already involved and aware they were made aware by the buzz going around town.  To see 200 runner/walkers flood the streets of San Pedro was awe inspiring.  We had certainly reached our goal of raising awareness for our program and were able to raise approximately $1000.00 BZD toward our Special Needs Program at ACES.

This event was the brainchild of our new Special Needs teacher Sarah Freudenberg.  Sarah joined us in September and has a Master's Degree in Special Education.  We are so thankful to have her, we appreciate her efforts and all she has brought to our students!  She has been a true blessing to our school.

Looking toward the future we would like to expand our program with more students and a bigger classroom.  We look forward to enhancing our program with more resources and tools, this can only happen through continued support from people like you.  Please give, children are our future....let's make it the best possible future it can be.
