Books for Belize exceeds goal

We wish to thank you and your many readers who responded to our effort to collect children's books for use in Belize.

Thanks to the outstanding response from this endeavor, over 30,000 books were donated by people and groups from all over our region, exceeding our goal of 25,000. In addition to those donating books, special thanks must be given to Kermit "Moose" Meystedt and Genesis Trucking for the donation of trucking service to transport the books to South Carolina for shipping to Belize.

Our warmest appreciation is extended to all who assisted in this project, which will provide books to thousands of children who would otherwise have very meager resources to support their education.
