SCI Bell Family Blue Bag
In memory of Amy Bell
Humanitarian Services to people and communities worldwide is a major objective of the SCI Foundation. In 2015 the Bell family joined with the SCI Foundation in support of their Humanitarian Services program by making a major funding commitment to what is now known as the Bell Family Blue Bag – “Pay It Forward” initiative. It is the goal of this program to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate throughout the world.
Pay it Forward
SCI Chapters, individual SCI members, church groups as well as groups of school children or scouts fill these Blue Bags with much needed school and medical supplies, clothes and food items as well as playground items for the children. The contents of these bags may include medical, educational, and other relief supplies, or clothing and toys. SCI members, fellow hunters and their friends, who are traveling to the hunting and safari destinations of the world, will take these Blue Bags and distribute these much needed items to children and families all over the globe. These “humanitarians”, with the support of their outfitters and friends, will deliver the contents of these bags directly to schools, clinics, churches, orphanages as well as to teachers, doctors, caregivers and mission workers to use in support of all those in need.

What can I put in a blue bag?
Thanks to a lengthy collaboration between the Tam family, the Bell family and countless other individuals and organizations like the PHASA Foundation, the Amy Bell Centre in Cradock, South Africa 🇿🇦, has become a vital hub for programs that uplift and support children, including educational initiatives, after-school tutoring, scholarships, and a school for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 🏫👩🏽🎓
The PHASA Foundation’s annual support for Amy Bell Charities - South Africa plays a key role in ensuring the success of these programs, and their unwavering support continues to have a significant impact on the Cradock community and the region. Because they help us, we are excited to 'Pay It Forward' and assist them with their humanitarian projects in Pretoria and beyond. PHASA Foundation will also help us promote the Blue Bag initiative among their members. 💙
We are particularly excited about our partnership with the Safari Club International Foundation Bell Family Blue Bag project, which provides essential resources to children in need, embodying the spirit of giving and the power of collaboration.
Together, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of children in need. 🌍💙

I absolutely loved doing this. If you ever go to Africa and don’t do this, you’re missing out. Find a way to get a blue bag to a village. It will change your life.
