School has started here in Belize & the high schools are all fee-based, tuition, books, uniforms are the responsibility of the family. High school is not required & many children leave school at age 16 after completing the equivalent of USA 8th grade.
As a former teacher I encourage the continuation and completion of high school. The past 2 years I have sponsored books for a neighbor & she continues to do well. She has chosen to share those books with a young man in the neighborhood which the school has encouraged students to do the past couple years.
Yesterday a young man who worked on remodeling my house came to me to ask for a loan to buy books for his 2 kids in high school, I was happy to give him the money & share it was a gift. Their family is struggling with 2 children now in high school & while the tuition is paid for the year, book money was just out of their reach this month.
This particular young man is a hard worker who loves his wife, his 3 children and wants his kids have more than he has. I am so grateful I am able to help his children. Now I have 3 to buy books for each year, 3 whose education will continue which it a good thing. ❤️
