Review for Bless the Children Inc, Clearwater, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I first heard of Bless the Children almost 20 years ago. I heard how it has done great things in many parts of the world, but I am not personally familiar with most of them. However, I am personally familiar with the John Grove School in the mountains of Honduras. The "legendary John Grove", a retired United States Air Force pilot teamed up with the Bless-the-Children non-profit out of Clearwater Fl and built a school almost in the middle of nowhere (up in the mountains.) They gave hope which is probably the best gift you can give to folks who eked out a living picking coffee beans in the jungle. The gift was that there was a chance for their children to have a better life through education. John died a few years later but Bless-the-Children kept his hope and the school alive. Every year there are more students in the school and the graduation list keeps growing. The standard of living in the area keeps improving. Graduates of the John Grove school can move to towns and get jobs and help their families standard-of-living improve.
Although many individuals helped this happen, the continuity of all this for the 20 years has been Bless-the-Children (and the oil keeping Bless- the- children running is Karen and Rebecca.) I have it easy, all I have to do is send money. Bless-the- Children does all the work! Run the school, improve lives, and give a part of the world hope that never had it before. I'm proud to be a doner to this school, this non- profit and this cause.
