Snorkeling With The Columbus House Big Brother Program

The Columbus house boys snorkeling with James Sarles & Anthony Welch


Rotary Club GB Sunrise Columbus House Big Brother Program had a great day this past Saturday. Residents of Columbus House in the back of town supervised by Director of the Program James Sarles and volunteer Anthony Welch had a snorkeling adventure. The boys used their snorkeling skills learned at UNEXSO and had a great time cooling down and enjoying the coral reefs followed by a picnic at Peterson Cay.

(The Starfish was let free as the boys were taught to respect the marine environment). 

The Columbus House Big Brother Program is a volunteer mentoring program for teens 12 -17 in Columbus House to develop self esteem, teach life skills and provide guidance and assistance with jobs and apartments during the transition phase when the teens age out of the facility. Anyone wishing to donate to the program can contact James Sarles at james@sarlesrealty.com
