Mr. Bruce invites you to contribute to a Belize-Guatemala Disability & Handicapped Student Scholarship

Fund, which furthers BJ Institute endeavors. Click on The Student Fund so you may obtain particulars on

items needed at the BJ Institute Headquarters via email or snail mail; these are handled by Mr. Bruce on

valuable laboratory used with the Disability and Handicapped Students. Click here or inquire about The

Rebuilding Program, underway since June 2004. Many needed items are on back order due to a lack of funds.

In 1996, the Institute began a Save the Forest reforestation program. This program is dedicated to

forestry restoration and regrowing eco-systems bashed during Guatemala's 36-year Civil War. That

War was detrimental to Guatemala directly and indirectly to Belize, Honduras and El Salvador as well.

For details on what you may do to assist with the Save the Forest Program and/or invest in growing

eight to ten trees or five or ten acres or more, contact Samuel Bruce and his colleagues at BJ Institutes.

Your support for the Save the Rain Forest Program is most welcomed.

Opening for new reforestation program participants are continuously being groomed just as you'd expect

of raising a new baby. Trees are cared for and new ones planted as old ones pass on.

Note the Student Fund and the Rebuilding Program links are to be activated soon.
