We would like to say a huge thank you to the cyclists who took part in the London to Brighton cycle on Saturday August 22nd and raised nearly £3000 for Liberty! The original team of 6 who fundraised (Ellie Currigan, Josh Dwek, Gemma Delahaye, Kate Goldman, Tessa Webb and Roland Mervart) unfortunately lost half its members before the big day due to unavoidable reasons including broken bones from training! The final team consisting of Josh Dwek, Tessa Webb and Roland Mervart did a fantastic job of both fundraising and navigating their way to Brighton via a scenic but hill plentiful route!

Liberty Children’s Home is buzzing with 45 children! In December 2008 the number of children at Liberty Children’s Home swelled to 45 - the largest number since opening in 2005. It took a little bit of shuffling around and amazing effort from the Liberty staff but all of the children, aged 1-15 years, are being accommodated comfortably and living between 4 houses (or ‘domes’) for older girls, boys, younger girls and babies. Throughout 2008 Liberty Children’s Home has cared for a total of 63 children. Of these 6 have been adopted, 2 are being fostered and 10 have been reunited with family members. This year we hope to see many more children reunited with family members, or placed with new families.
Happy 3rd Anniversary to Liberty Children's Home! On Saturday 23rd August Liberty Children's Home, Belize celebrated it's 3rd year anniversary through the event 'Metamorphosis'. Hundreds of people bought tickets for this celebration and enjoyed a night of art, music, dance, poetry and delicious food and drink! The event was also opened with 3 beautiful songs performed by some of the children from Liberty Children's Home. All proceeds from the night of course went straight towards Liberty Children's Home and Liberty Learning Centre. We would like to say thank you to everyone who contributed towards making the night such a success. British 10k runners raise thousands for Liberty.... We would like to say a huge thank you to the brave runners who took to the rainy streets of London to take part in the British 10k London Run on Sunday, 6th July. The team of 7 raised nearly £3000 in sponsorship between them and Liberty are hugely appreciative of their impressive fundraising and running efforts! March 2008 In just a few months the children have been on a number of outings: Belize Zoo, Croc World, horseback riding and swimming to name a few. These trips are essential for the children’s wellbeing – as well as having fun, learning about and seeing more of their country; it also widens their experiences and helps to reduce the damaging effects of institutionalisation.   January 2008 Liberty volunteer’s De-institutionalisation In 2007 Ms Francesca Lamedica took a sabbatical from her work as a lawyer linguist in Italy to spend 4 months volunteering with Liberty as a child protection consultant. Working alongside UNICEF and the Department of Human Services Francesca has developed a program which focuses on the de-institutionalisation of children in Belize. This program, which aims to reduce the reliance on institutions and develop the foster care program in Belize is to be implemented from April 2008. We would like to thank Francesca for all her dedication and hard work which looks to make such a difference to the future of children in care in Belize.  August 2007 Summer 2007 marked the 100th anniversary of Montessori education. It was in July 1907 that Maria Montessori opened her school for disadvantaged children in the slums of Rome. To celebrate this anniversary two Montessori schools in London - The Gower School and Paint Pots Montessori School took part in a '100 steps for Montessori walk' and in the process rasied much needed funds for Liberty's Community School. A big thank you to all the children, staff and parents for making the walks such a success! School websites: http://www.thegowerschool.co.uk http://paint-pots.co.uk    July 2007 May 2007 On Friday, May 18th, Mrs. Dacie Tillet, Principal of Liberty’s Learning Centre, was awarded the ‘Outstanding Teacher Award’ by the Belizean Ministry of Education. This was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all the hard work of Mrs Tillet and the staff at Liberty’s Learning Centre. The Liberty team have created an exceptional educational environment for children which is only in its first year but has already made a considerable positive impact on the local community. At the end of April 2007 an American Military contingent of around 20 soldiers arrived on the Belize campus to help us to build a poultry barn, an important part of Liberty’s efforts to become increasingly self sustainable. After constructing what we believe may be one of the sturdiest hen-houses in the whole of Central America, the soldiers went on to help us build a platform and enclosure for a pool that had recently been generously donated by the local Belizean company Mirab. This pool is now playing an important role in the daily lives of children suffering from Cerebral Palsy and Brittle bone disease where it offers them a fun and painless way for them to get some much needed exercise. The rest of the residents at Liberty Children’s Centre are also taking advantage of the new pool as a handy place to cool off on the hottest days on campus. We would like to say a sincere thank you to each and every soldier, all of whom carried out these jobs with great care and dedication whilst showing the highest consideration for the children living and going to school at Liberty Children’s Centre.      March 2007 Liberty Foundation were delighted that William Hague chose Liberty Children’s Centre as his first stop during his short visit to Belize in March. The Shadow Foreign Secretary met with the staff, children and the Founder, Marcelle Delahaye, and took time to learn about the background and objectives of Liberty’s programs. |
