Bethel School
Principal Samuel Chi at the Bethel Adventist Mission School in Punta Gorda, Belize, has sent the following requests to our Missionary Partners. Last month and again this month we have made special efforts to help the Bethel School serve its children and their families. We are very grateful for the kindnesses that are materializing.
Blessings,
Mike
Teacher’s Salary
Most schools in Belize are Government Aided, this means teachers are paid by the Ministry of Education. However, Bethel SDA School does not receive full assistance from the government. We depend largely on payment of Registration, Monthly Contribution, fundraising and most important of all, in God’s care, for the operational expenses and for the salary of three of our teachers. But only about 20% of our population can afford the fees levied. Ms Kimberly Warrior, Ms. Les Wakefield and Ms. Eva Chi have been giving their time and skills through these months teaching our students. We provide a small salary, $350, $250 and $200 respectively. But they deserve more, especially because they use part of their own salary to provide school supplies for their students, prepare class material and assist their family with their needs. With a monthly contribution of $250 for each you can assist these
teachers as they give of themselves to the children.
Salam Family
Reginald Foste and Amalia Salam. Reginald does not have a steady job yet. They came from another community and are still in the process of settling in our community. Amalia suffers from asthma, and because of a recent flu and cold she has been ill at the hospital recovering. Older sister Nurciana (13 years old) stays by her bedside at the hospital because mother has a young baby who needs breastfeeding. These four girls need your backing. Together they need $170 for tuition and another $494 for a decent meal at school for the rest of the school year.
