In 1998 during a trip to Belize Central America, I was invited to visit a few of the villages' schools. To my dismay Ifound that academic materials and basic school supplies were completely scarce, and despite its’ unique educational system, most schools lacked libraries and computers to meet the needs of today’s educational standards. Upon my return to the United States, images of the less fortunate schools replayed throughout my thoughts raising the question "What could I do about it?" From this question, School Bells was created.
School Bells, Inc, a 501c3 non-profit humanitarian organization was founded in 2003 with the mission to serve and provide essential life skills, educational support, economic growth, and health services for underserved communities. School Bells accomplishes these goals through a variety of programs geared toward uplifting communities of culturally diverse country, Belize, C.A., as well as here in the United States.
School Bells is currently responsible for over 150 children kindergarten-12th grade receiving an education. There are still hundreds of other children that want the opportunity to attend school, but whose families lack the funds to send them. As a result, most children only receive up to an elementary school education causing them to live a life of poverty and underpaid work while others turn to begging, crime, unwanted pregnancies and worse. With your help, children that once had no access to learning tools, an education or medicine will have one of the some of the greatest learning tools they can use; interaction.
