Earlier in the year I collaborated with my aunt and uncle in Houston, Texas, to organize a book drive for the St. Benedict R.C. School Library. I wrote an article for their church newsletter and put together a slide show with photos and information of the school and students.
Aunt Wendy, Uncle Dan, and Stuart and Stephen did an excellent job of organizing book collections and picking up donations. They gathered close to 800 books and prepared them for shipment.
We received the shipment of books during the last week of June, just before the end of school. The students and teachers were so excited to receive the books, and we immediately began unpacking the boxes. We will continue to work with students, parents, and teachers over the summer to organize library.
Thank you so much to Peace Corps Belize Staff, Hoover Oil Supply Company, and the Clark Family for all of your help to get books to the students at St. Benedict R.C. School.
