After attending a mission trip to Burrell Boom, Belize to work on the buildings at the Burrell Boom Methodist School, my daughter noticed the lack of supplies available for both the teachers and the students. She and I created this video to show to our congregation, giving them an idea of the work our church’s youth group had accomplished, showing them the children who came daily to help and worship with us, and relating to them some idea of the needs of this small school. Her efforts helped raise over $9,000 for this school; money for books, paper, writing utensils, arts and crafts supplies, curriculum for teachers, shoes and athletic equipment for the school’s athletic teams, utility bills, and most importantly, tuition money for those children who could not otherwise afford to attend. The effort to help support this school is ongoing. If you would like to help, please correspond with Rev. Charles Bagley, C/O Moody Memorial First United Methodist Church, 2803 Avenue U, Galveston, Texas 77551-5914, or charles@moody.org
