Burrell
Boom is a small but growing town north of Belize City,
with a population of about 1000. While there are several churches
in the area, there is only one school, Burrell Boom Methodist
School, which sees kids age 4 -14. Total enrollment is 250.
In
the Belizian School system the Headmaster is an important community
position. In 2004 the Headmaster’s cottage for the Burrell
Boom School burned, leaving only the slab and a burned-out cistern.
Fortunately,
the Church had the foresight to have had a partial-value insurance
policy on this structure, so of course a claim was filed. That
claim was not settled until late 2005, and it was for an adequate
amount to cover the materials for the new structure, but not the
labor.
Consequently,
the Church has asked the Belize Mission Project, as the formal
representative of UMVIM in Belize, to assist in finding willing
persons to provide labor this summer to rebuild the Cottage. (The
Belize Project is a tax-exempt 501.c.3 non profit organization,
with formal arrangements for wholesale airfares to Belize from
Miami and Houston)
If
you are called to go on a mission trip this summer, especially
if you are part of a smaller church, or one with an inadequate
missions budget, then this project is for you! Individuals or
smaller teams of 3-5 persons: this is perfect!
We
have group accommodations with a super kitchen and mens, women
shower. (pictures)
