Bookbag Santa Seeks Volunteers for International School Supply Delivery in Belize
Bookbag Santa, led by President Gary Hunt, is inviting volunteers to participate in its annual trip to Belize to deliver school supplies to children in need. This opportunity combines an inexpensive tropical vacation with humanitarian aid. The annual trip typically takes place from the last week of July through the first or second week of August. In addition to Belize, Bookbag Santa also donates supplies to schools, churches, and other groups involved in projects in various countries including Mexico, Haiti, Sudan, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, and Egypt, as well as within the United States, specifically to Roanoke-area charities, the Military Family Support Group, and Native American schools in South Dakota. Donating usable school supplies also contributes to environmental sustainability by keeping items out of landfills.
