My name is Janice Jacobs Palmer, President/CEO of Project Jumpstart Belize. Today, I am reaching out to valued donors who share our organization's mission and vision. Over the past three years, we have worked diligently to enhance our efforts at San Antonio Government School in the Corozal District, Belize, Central America. This year, we have been moved by the needs of our children and are committed to ensuring they receive their education in a comfortable environment.

Cool Classrooms, Brighter Futures: A Story from San Antonio Government School”

In the heart of the Corozal District, nestled in the quiet village of San Antonio, children gather each day at their beloved school—San Antonio Government School. Despite limited resources, the students arrive with eager minds and hopeful spirits. But as the Belizean heat bears down, their enthusiasm often wilts beneath sweltering temperatures in heated classrooms.

At Project Jumpstart Belize, we’ve seen firsthand how hard these children work—how dedicated their teachers are—and how a simple improvement can make a world of difference.

That’s why we’re launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for a 5-Zone Mini-Split Converter Air Conditioner System—a solution that would allow us to cool multiple classrooms using one outdoor unit, providing comfort, focus, and dignity to both students and staff.

Imagine a child being able to concentrate without beads of sweat trickling down their face… A teacher standing in front of the class without the exhaustion of the midday heat… A learning environment where everyone can thrive.

We believe every child deserves to learn in a space that is safe, healthy, and conducive to success.

This is more than an air conditioner—it’s an investment in education, in comfort, and in the future leaders of Belize.

We are humbly asking for your support. Whether it’s $5 or $500, every contribution brings us one step closer to cool classrooms and brighter futures.

Donate to our GoFundMe today and help us bring the breeze of change to San Antonio Government School.

Thank you for believing in our mission and in the power of community.

With gratitude,

Janice Jacobs Palmer
