Thanks
to the generous assistance
The InterVol’s Friends Across Borders
(FAB) and the volunteer efforts of students from
Aquinas Institute and the ViaHealth IT
department, the Scouts of Belize now
have a fully established functional computer
lab. On Sunday May 21, some fifteen computers,
35 MM and digital cameras, stationery and school
supplies along with other equipment were handed
over to the Scouts of Belize at Scout
Headquarters at a brief but meaningful ceremony
attended by Dr. Ralph Pennino, MD
Founder and President of InterVol
and Jaime Barclay, FAB Director.
 
Immediately following the presentation, four
students from Rochester who are part of
InterVol’s working team in Belize
conducted two computer-training sessions for
member Scouts.
InterVol
is a non-profit organization based in Rochester,
New York that recovers and ships unused medical
supplies to underserved parts of the world. In
addition to the shipment of medical supplies
they also coordinate and send teams of medical
volunteers to rural areas in countries where
medical services are most needed. Friends
Across Borders (FAB) was introduced in 2005 to
form community collaboration between diverse
groups in the Rochester area and abroad.
The Scout computer lab will be used for
after-school tutoring and a community resource
center. The Scout Association of Belize
currently serves over 2500 boys and girls ages 7
- 21 throughout the entire country.
