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.

Through this program the Bells join with hunting families and their friends all over the world to promote a “Pay It Forward” spirit for the benefit of those less fortunate and to improve the quality of life worldwide

6 February 2023 a 7.8-magnitude earthquake caused widespread damage across Turkey and northern Syria. More than 58 000 people have been confirmed killed, and millions displaced. Johan van der Watt was filming an expedition in Turkey and decided to do a Bell Family Blue Bag and donate funds to Direct Relief. They are deploying medical supplies from its facilities in the U.S. and Europe for Turkey and Syria. More than 300 tons of medical aid have been staged or shipped for Turkey and Syria since the earthquake began. Items include medication to treat people with injuries and pre-existing medical conditions, such as field medic packs, antibiotics and other essential medicines, as well as oral rehydration solutions and hygiene items for those displaced from their homes. Thanks to Larry J Bell and Ellen Bell that also contributed to this cause. #amybellcharities #payingitforward #bluebagprogram

Charlie and Eric Swanson took a break from our safari to deliver SCI Foundation Bell Family Blue Bags to the Mwenezi Primary School in Zimbabwe. “We delivered needed school and medical supplies along with sports and other items that were donated by our Park Cities neighbors.”

“ The Blue Bag Program is just one part of the many efforts to continue the legacy of Amy Bell’s dedication to and love for the children of Africa, and we are fortunate to be able to participate in our own small way.”

Thank you to Eric, Charlie, the outfitters, professional hunters, and neighbors for making this delivery happen.

Medical relief delivered via SCI Foundation Bell Family Blue Bags. We had a chance to make a visit to this small health clinic in the West Petauke area of the eastern province in Zambia. We delivered cases of desperately needed medical supplies. The medical officer and his entire community were so very appreciative for our support. They had been without many of these critical supplies since pre-Covid going back to mid 2019. Our special thanks goes out to Peter Chipman and Kwalata Safaris Zambia for their help delivering these medicines, surgical supplies and first aid items. #amybellcharities #payitfoward #scifoundation #bluebagprogram

More SCI Foundation Bell Family Blue Bags in Zambia. “Paying It Forward” with the help of Peter Chipman and Kwalata Safaris Zambia on the South Luangwa River. We visited a small, rural preschool and delivered much needed school supplies, soccer balls and treats to these precious 3-5 year old children. They are being given a “head start” by some community volunteers in this very remote make-shift school. These babies and their caregivers were so appreciative for our help. #amybellcharities #payitfoward #scifoundation #bluebagprogram
