Belize (Lighthouse Ministries)

In early 2017, an ambitious project was unveiled – the building of a brand new primary school in Duck Run 2, Belize. The old 4-room building was falling apart and couldn’t support it’s 200 plus students. By the summer of 2019, the new building was completed, and we are proud to say, it’s the best school hands down in the Cayo District! Saint Dennis has been a big help in the successful completion of the school. Through many fund raising events to cash donations, Saint Dennis has been involved from the start. We continue to visit St. Joseph a couple of times each year and hold a Vacation Bible School each summer.
