Bubba the crab trying to escape!
Over Christmas break our family went Scuba Diving on the island of Roatan, Honduras. The place we stayed was a great diving resort and the owners, Ted and Cam, have enjoyed 15 years of escape from the busy life here in the US. Not content to just run the resort they have taken on the challenge of improving the schools on the island. The statistics are astounding - not enough class space, low attendance, even lower completion stats.
So - every Thursday night they host a big crab race event. The night we were there over 100 people were in attendance. It's simple - buy 3 crabs for 3 races for $10. If your's wins you get to split the pot. But then the winner is heavily influenced to return his winnings to the school fund. After some additional challenges and pleas the races for our night raised over $1000 for the school project Ted and Cam are sponsoring.
We can all do something for kids - what can you do ?
