Project S.H.I.E.L.D debuts
Andres Dones, an 11th grade student, has been working tirelessly for the past three years in creating a documentary titled Project S.H.I.E.L.D. (Siblings Help Inform Everyone about Living with Disabilities) with the guidance of Mr. Johnny Calderin.
On January 13 his finished work was presented to the Middle School and the families who are featured in the film. Andres has a brother with special needs and has seen firsthand the difficulties his brother encounters. As a true Man for Others, Andres' hope is that this documentary not only shed light to the daily struggles of families with a special need child but calls us all to treat them with tremendous compassion and love.
We are incredibly proud of Andres' work and grateful to the four families who shared their moving story in this documentary.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
