Welcome to the Living Tree Academy Blog

With this blog we will keep you updated on our daily events of building a school in the Country of Belize. You will also be able to jump in and help with this adventure of a life time.

And anyone that is so inspired might find some of this information helpful in your efforts to build a quality school in any community or country around the world.

Stay in touch and lets change the lives of young people, one at a time.

Our Blogs

Being an on going effort, we at Living Tree Academy have decided to change our blog format. Initially, we decided to set up one blog and discuss the daily events along with all activity. Well, after only a brief month of blogging, the amount of material that is being worked on was just to abundant for one site.

So now, you will get daily updates from Belize on this "Updates" blog. On the
LTA Blogs site, there will be varying categories for discussion. Some of these
areas of discussion are:

Staff  House Menu
Biblical Curriculum
Building (Construction)
Purchasing Land
Political / Governmental Affairs
Academic Curriculum
Student Record Keeping
Student Application and Acceptance
Finances
Organic Gardening
Lesson in Living

There will be others added as time goes on.

Once again, all of this information is being documented to help others that might pass this way. (Are inspired to take on a similar project to help young people.)

I think you will enjoy the following poem:

The Bridge Builder
An old man, going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned, when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,
"You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide-
Why build you this bridge at the evening tide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head:
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today,
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm, that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."
