Joni Miller
It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Joni Miller, the person who first invited me to join the Ocean Academy team 13 years ago, with the simple goal of raising tuition for just one student. That initial small goal grew into over a decade of fundraising and became a huge rewarding part of my life.
Together, Joni and her friend and co-founder, Heidi, have undoubtedly changed the lives of a generation of children and shaped the future of Belize.
Joni, we are all going to miss you deeply. Your impact was immense in the short time you were with us. Thank you for enriching my life and teaching me so much.
If anyone would like to contribute, your donation will go towards student scholarships in Joni’s name.
