posted (April 25, 2017)
$500 isn't a lot of money but for 4 youths, it will help keep them in high school. Today one of those 4 kids received her certificate for the Helen Gabb Memorial Scholarship. She is 14 year old Wesley College student Shantae Bailey. This scholarship program is just one part of the Rise Up Belize initiative which started in 2004. Founder and Executive Director Jo-carol Garcia, who is originally from Belize, told us more about how this initiative started and the impact it continues to have on Belizean youth.

The Helen Gabb Memorial Scholarship is in honor of Helen Gabb, she was a pillar in the Methodist Church. IF you would like to find out more about this initiative you can go to Riseupbelize.org.
