A School for Others covers my time in Belize, Central America as a Peace Corps Volunteer.

It is the beginning of a vision to develop a school for students who are unable to continue their education in a system that is designed to weed out the “academically challenged.” They are the “other” kids who don’t have the privilege of attending secondary school.
