We were pleased to coordinate and raise school supplies for all the children in our local school. Including our own donations and that of others, we put together 60 comprehensive packages for the students and 10 packages for the teachers, both full and part-time. A special thanks to all those who contributed to our "Giving Back" programme through donations of supplies and cash. We even have a little left over for our next event and we are very thankful that our guests, neighbours and friends have been kind enough to help the local Bejuco School. These donations go a long way to help this under-funded school, providing the students the tools they need to start off the school year with some excitement and support from the community. A very special thanks goes to Cheryl, one of our wonderful neighbours in Bejuco and a volunteer at the school, for her efforts throughout the year and in helping to coordinate these packages.
