Letters from Belize – a letter from Anfernee
Hello Ms. Bev,
The news saddens me but you have served a long and wonderful time as the prime contact between Christ Church Cathedral ad St. Hilda’s and us scholarship students and families. I enjoyed every moment being in contact with you, all the advice and taking your personal time to show concern for me and all of us here in Belize.
Your time, love and overwhelming efforts and support to make sure we were our best in whatever we chose to do even if it wasn’t education related. Regardless, I’ll still be in contact because you are and will always more than just a contact, you’re family. It was nice seeing and talking to you again as well although I might not be the most outspoken person, you honestly don’t look like you’ve aged a bit.
We will never forget you
Loved meeting your husband for the first time, I always felt like I’ve met him before but I was wrong since this is his first trip down.
I’ve made inquiries about student loans but I’m awaiting an official acceptance letter from University of Belize. I’ve transferred into Architecture at UB to begin this August in Belize City. I’ll be in contact with Jamal for the best help in that area. Thanks for the concern and update but I will take care of it, just continue focusing on the high school students, they need the assistance way more.
Thanks for the help through high school and and through what I’ve completed at Junior College. UB does offer sports scholarship and I’ll be sure to look into it being that I play almost every sport in the country except soccer because I’m afraid it will affect my leg although it’s been years since the surgery.
Thanks for everything you, the congregation and your families there in Canada have done for me, my family and all of us here in Belize over the years Ms. Bev. We will never forget you and will always be in my thoughts and heart. Hope everyone and there families are doing great and enjoying the weather. Wish you nothing but the best.
With love,
Anfernee
Thank you from University of Belize Graduate, Amieka Myers
University of Belize scholarship student, Amieka Myers, will officially graduate on Saturday, June 16th. Our church has been sponsoring her since she finished Grade 8 (Standard 6) at St. Hilda’s School. She has persevered despite many difficulties and has accomplished what has never been done before in her family. They, as well as we here at Christ Church Cathedral, are very proud of her.
Hi Ms. Bev,
First of all, I want to extend a huge thank you to you and your church for the assistance with my graduation that’s coming up so soon.
I’m happy everything has worked out regarding the graduation. I will stop by at UB to see Mr. Palma and pick up the graduation regalia tomorrow morning.
I’m not sure who I’m going to invite but my mom is definitely a part of the invite list. I wish you were near to experience this moment with me; nonetheless, I know you will be here in spirit. I will send you some pictures so you can see what it looks like.
Once again, thank you and your church for all the kindness you guys bestowed upon me and my family throughout my educational journey. It is truly a blessing!!
Regards,
Amieka Myers
Thank you from scholarship student Paul Jones
Dear Ms Bev and church congregation at Christ Church Cathedral,
I am writing this letter to thank all those who have supported me during my four years of high school. I am so grateful to God for bringing you all into my life. Without Him none of this would have been possible. I am happy to say I have made you all proud even though my time in high school is almost over – just a couple of months to finish.
I will never forget you and what you have done for me. I promise to keep you all posted as I continue to study. Throughout my four years of studies there are people who have inspired me and uplifted me, especially the Lord. Throughout my four years of school I have been doing well academically. Now that I am in my fourth and final year of high school, my goal is to graduate and go to university to study forensics or marine biology, but mostly forensics.
My family and I want to thank you and your congregation for all the support. I have four months until graduation and I will send you pictures of my graduation and a short video clip of me on my graduation day.
Once again, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. My prayer for you all is that God bless you always. I love you all so very much. Thanks again. I will keep in touch with you. Love you all!
Thanks,
Paul Jones

The Belize Mission Team
Rebecca Butler, Caryn Gunter, Nat Fetter, Carol Ann Melvin, Dean Geoffrey Hall, Kelley Hall, Jim Morell, and Beverly Morell
is scheduled to depart Saturday, 27 January 2018 and spend a week serving at St. Hilda’s Anglican School in the village of Georgeville. Teams from the Cathedral have been travelling to Belize since 2005 and a close bond has been built between our church family and the school and church there. You, at the Cathedral, are our “Home Team” and we ask for your help in one or more of the following ways – (1) pray for the Mission Team daily as they prepare, travel and serve God in Belize; (2) make a special offering so we can buy educational supplies and a computer-compatible projector to take with us for the school; (3) read the daily blog on our website and follow what the Away Team is doing daily at the school; (4) support the Team on the Sunday of commissioning (11:45 a.m. worship on 21 January).

Thank you from Amieka Myers
Here is a recent letter from Belize scholarship student Amieka Myers following the final payment of tuition for her now completed program. Although the scholarship is completed for Amieka, her plans are to obtain her teacher’s license and save some money on her own to return to University and further her education.
Hello Miss Bev,
I would like to let you know that I have received the funds from Ms Indira, it was very nice of her to do us that little favor. I would also like to thank you and your church for the assistance you have showered me with over the years. I appreciate every single thing you guys have done for me. As of today, I will start gather my documents for the license and I will keep you updated on how that’s going.
I can’t wait to see you and your team on the 28th. I know you must be very excited for your trip to Belize. I pray you
have a safe trip to beautiful Belize.Regards,
Amieka Myers
