COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Westrac Ltd. firmly believes that one of the best ways to ensure the development and growth of a nation is to invest in the future. As a company, we recognize that is our duty, to serve our community by aiding in education, sports, and environmental protection to name a few.

Cayo Deaf Institute

Together with the Westrac Slick Runners, Westrac was able to aid the Cayo Deaf Institute. CDI is a boarding school where the hearing impaired can get an education. A charity run was organized in which all the proceeds were donated to CDI for the construction of a multi-purpose. Due to Westrac’s promise of doubling the race registration fee along with other donations, we were able to donate $20,680 to CDI. The multi-purpose building will give students a space for their activities.

Queen Street Baptist School & Unity Presbyterian Primary School

Westrac brought smiles to countless faces as they paid the tuition fees for many students; a donation that totaled thirty-four thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars. At Queen Street Baptist School, 140 students benefited from this donation. At Unity Presbyterian Primary School, 250 students benefited from this donation. We also partnered with Pure Guard and donated four hundred and forty-five school bags to children in the Queen Street Baptist School, Unity Presbyterian Primary School, and Living Hope Preparatory School.

Holy Angels R.C. School

One of the largest projects to be done was completed in May of 2019 as Westrac undertook the initiative to completely refurbish and renovate the largest building at the Holy Angels R.C. School in Pomona Village. The school was shut down by the government due to the unhealthy condition of the building. Bats, rusted roofs, and rotten wood were all a problem. With some former students and staff of this school now working at Westrac, the project was even closer to the heart of the company. Initially, it was only a replacement of the roof, rafters, and painting. The company directors visited the school personally and decided the need was great and the initiative of completely redoing the inside was added as well as a ceiling, rewiring, and new electrical work, making the oldest building one of the nicest buildings.

Arenal Village

Together with the Rotaract club of San Ignacio, we were able to place a new permanent basin for the students in Arenal Village. This allowed them to have clean drinking water readily available and wash their hands.

Calla Creek Village

During the rainy season at the school, these children were often forced to run through water in order to walk from class to class. To connect the main entrance and all the classrooms, the idea of an elevated path was brought forth and a cement path was built together with the Rotaract Club of San Ignacio

Silk Grass Methodist School

We were able to provide Silk Grass Methodist School with much-needed new wooden armchairs for the students, along with necessary school supplies.

Ebenezer Methodist School

Ebenezer Methodist School in Belize City received a large number of backpacks that contained pens, notebooks, and other supplies for the coming school year.

St. Michaels R.C. School

Along with the assistance of Rotaract’s staff, St. Michaels R.C. School in Belmopan was able to receive a ceiling that was desperately needed.

Hidden Paradise

In Hidden Paradise there was work done to bring cleaner conditions to the students, with new benches and screen windows as well as screen doors being installed.
