The Creative Adventure Center for pikni's of all ages!
Punta Pikni Creative Adventures (PPCA)
will be located just outside of Punta Gorda Town in Indian Ville and is
expected to be operational by 2011.
PPCA
is currently seeking Grants and Donations to help finish building it's
main facility and playground.
PPCA
has identified and targeted
8 key components that are much needed by the community that are valuable
and worthwhile services. Some of the areas that need improvement in this
region are better infant and child care, better health care, better and
more nutritious foods, education/training, recreational opportunities, protection from vector borne
diseases and work opportunities. Many people living here still don't
name their baby until its first birthday due to the high infant
mortality rates. Most homes don't have window screens and the diseases
associated with mosquitoes, mice and fleas are fairly common such as
Malaria and Dengue Fever. Lack of quality and nutritious foods force
many people to eat only what little foods they can get with many
families and children being malnourished. Also diseases like diabetes
are exceedingly high in this country. PPCA's programs target some
of these key things in order to make a big difference by giving hope,
care, education, recreation and healthy foods in a safe, fun and caring environment.
Because of the low rates
that PPCA must maintain in
order to be of service to those who truly need its programs,
PPCA will have different avenues
to generate a steady cash flow in order to stay in business and help
offset their affordable rates for the Day Care. Infant and School
Supplies will be made available for sale at low prices, in addition to
Food Co-Op purchasing of staple food items for the families and the
surrounding community. PPCA will make healthy meals available for
sale to the community for takeout lunches, dinners and snacks daily.
PPCA also will be renting out their Inflatable Fun-Houses for
private, community functions and country wide events. PPCA will
offer an Internet Cafe geared for the younger generation in addition to
getting a Baby Sitting network established in the community.
PPCA
is
actively seeking grants to start up its operations and scholarships for
the Day Care program to help those families that are truly in need to be
able to have their children attend. PPCA
will look for grants and funding from local business and organizations
both in Belize and abroad. Fund Raising will also be conducted to help
assist the objectives of PPCA.
