Humanitarian Project to Belize |

In November, 14 members of Blowing Rock Rotary and a handful of community members travelled to Belize City to perform a variety of work projects at Stella Maris School. More than 30% of Belize (formerly British Honduras) citizens live in abject poverty, and Stella Maris is the only school in the nation that serves special needs children. The Rotarians repaired the roof, sanitation facilities, and electrical wiring, among other infrastructure-related tasks. They gave each student an eye examination, taught music therapy, installed computer equipment
