Hello All!

I was wondering if anyone would like to help support my school's Belize Service Learning Project 2002 summer camp (for Belizean, mostly Mayan, kids) by purchasing a T-shirt from me?

T-shirts are $15.00 each and I still have a bunch of Mediums and some X-large. They read… "Where in the World is Belize" around a close up picture of the kids' smiling faces, and on the back… "Belize Project 2002, Learning first and always."

Tax deductible donations made payable to:
CCC Foundation # 4308
(please specify Belize Project and t-shirts)
and mailed to:
Belize Project CCBC
15812 Amelung Lane
Rockville, MD 20855

$9 from each sale goes towards the purchase of camp supplies, paper, pencils and crayons. All T-shirt purchases or donations are tax deductible and I have made a brochure that I will mail to you which has info and some pictures of last year's camp.

We bring down all necessary supplies and then whatever is not used is donated to the school. Unfortunately, Iris destroyed the surplus from last year's camp!

Our program was so successful over the past 2 years that this year the principal of the Big Falls R.C. School has requested that we increase the camp size to include older kids as well as younger ones. This alone means doubling the supply cache!

We have even been asked to start a program in the Cayo District and I believe that will incorporate University of Belize students who want to volunteer.

This is just some of the basic info about my community college's service learning summer camp project that is held in July, in Big Falls, Toledo District of southern Belize.

If you would like more info our program email address is belizeproject@hotmail.com or you can email me at sweetlilbigheart@yahoo.com.

Thanks!
Sarah
Peace, Love, and Happiness!

P.s. This year we will be doing a science project of a mini hurricane and getting the kids to write about how Iris affected them!

sarahsmile....
I'm there for ya girlfriend!
Do ya get extra credit if I send the check and put a note attached that it was due for your effort?
I will also e-mail you... I have a lot of questions!
Great work!!!
Sincerely,
Hope

Thanks Hope!
Super!
About credit...no, we do not get credit for this. We do, however, go as volunteers for service learning.
There are other programs in the states that will work with certain schools to provide arranged credit...I've seen them on the net.
This will be my second Belize summer camp trip but I also went in January to take down hurricane donations.
If you would please indicate on the check that your donation is for the Belize Project and how many shirts you want.

Thank you so much!
Sarah

ya know guys... this is $9.00 for a Belize T, and a really good cause. I can't believe nobody is responding to this here "next generation" of young adults.
OH... and Pier Lounge Jim... do you ever read your e-mail from your web site? I guess not, but I do know someone going down there that CAN bring those t's for you to sell at your bar for her.

I always read my emails. Sarah is supposed to respond and has not done it as yet. OK?

Others will respond I am sure...its ok I am thankful for the both of your responses so far! If that is all I get, that is still great and most definately better than none!

Hey Jim, I emailed you yesterday....saying I would have to get back to you. Then I went and passed on your info to a faculty coordinator so that he could decide what was most cost effective. Today he responded by saying that we could take 10 with us when we come....however if Hope knows someone who can take them down, then mailing within the states might be more efficient than waiting til July 14 to get there then mail from within Bze.

I am open to suggestions...and most appreciative of your responses and efforts Hope and Jim.

Anyone else wanna buy a shirt? Donate craft supplies? Any suggestions?

Peace,
Sarah

COOL! and... sorry if I came across brash.
O.K.!
Thanks Jim!!
Anybody else?

Sorry Sarah,
No email yet. Try again. I have some pretty snobbish firewalls. Sorry
Jim

Anyone else???

SS-Can we get one when we are there & if so where? Thx.

Jim at Pier Lounge has offered to sell them for me but I have to get them there first!

At the moment our fundraiser t-shirts are still here in Baltimore.

Today I will put my share* about 8 * in the mail to go with someone who is going down next week. I hope they make it there!

That is just a start! If more people from here say they will buy them from Jim then I will get more from school and bring them in July (or send them with someone else sooner).

Thanks for the inquiry!!!! It's all for the kids....really!

Sarah,
Sorry I've not responded sooner. Just got back from Belize, and trying to catch up on work and other stuff.

I'm ordering at least 3... will try to get to it today.

Doesn't anyone else need just one more Belize t-shirt??

Kathy

Great! Thanks Kathy!

SS-i wish i would have responded earlier, maybe i could have taken them for u. Regardless, i want one, so if i can't get one there, i'll get one here. Kepp us posted. Thx

i would rather get one when we get back...i have put out so much $$$ already!!

how long will the t's be available for? are there kids sizes too?

Paluxy and Sweetjane...and anyone else...
Great! Thanks. Whenever you get the chance to make an order that is fine. It is best if we can sell these shirts before July 14th so that we can use the money for this years camp...if not there will be another next year. However the shirts say 2002.

Thanks you guys this really helps.

The smallest size is medium.

***NOTE- PLEASE DROP ME A LINE with your name IF YOU ORDERED A SHIRT or will order. YOUR CHECK WILL GO TO THE SCHOOL BUT I WILL BE THE ONE TO ACTUALLY SEND THEM.
Sorry I didnt specify this before.*******

Here's a BIG thank you to those of you who have purchased a shirt!!! The shirts are on their way if you already sent your check...sorry for the delay.

I am down to 25 shirts and 24 days til we head for Belize for our summer camp! Wooohooo! This year I will have to take some pictures to post on here.

Inquiries are still trickling in...Thank You!

Keep em comin'

Sarah

Debbie

Thanks for the update, Sarah. I was just wondering yesterday what was up with the shirts. Am anxiously awaiting mine... assuming you got my check!

Kathy

Debbie,Yes yes those are the shirts! Glad you like them!
KC, all the checks went to the school so today I am going to collect all the information I can from them to get these shirts in the mail ASAP!

Thanks again and ty 4 ur patience!

SS

ok, ok. c'mon you guys step up here. support what you love.

i will send a check out today.

I have Mediums, mediums, Mediums and some X-large shirts left!

Sarah,
Are the shirts on their way yet?

Kathy

Yes ma'am they should be there in the next few days! Sorry for the delay!
smiles

Hey Sarah... I just got your phone message but thought this would be easier... since I'm here now. lol
XL and a M will be just fine. No worries!

Sarah
Hope stopped in and apparently had unloaded all the shirts the day before.
The offer still stands.
Jim

Thanks Jim! I feel so rude...since you made a great offer and I haven't taken advantage of it! Please don't take it personally! Here is what I am thinking
...uhuhuhuuuuuuuhhhhh...
No seriously...whatever is left, come time to head south, I will bring down with me and send to you from in country, BZ.
If that is ok with you of course????

Thanks again!

Sarah you weren't rude... they just got sold out. lol
Jim is so dang sweet, how could he say no!
Sarah, I might suggest ya send them down with a border like me, prior to your trip. That would give Jim time to sell them AND ya have maybe a bit of cash for the mission.
The folks on this site are VERY GOOD people!
Trust is a good thing! ;-)

Ok the real trouble I'm having is I guess i didnt figure this whole thing out very well and so now I dont know how many checks are on the way and how many shirts I would need to keep here to send off as the checks arrive! I didn't want to say anything because I don't want to discourage anyone from sending a check!

Hey this stuff is all new to me, ya know!

Ok so if I sent some to Jim with somebody...who might that be????

Hey Sarah,

Ya got any left?

Yes I do still have shirts M and XL!
Approx 15 left.

save mne a biggie - chks in the mail

Ok done! Thanks!

Sorry for the delay.

Sarah
