Yearly, BASICS host groups from the United States and United Kingdom; who conduct Vacation Bible School, medical screening, sport clinics, art and crafts clinics and other academic/recreational activities.

In 2007, BASICS International implemented a new project " Brighten the Corner where you ARE". The project was inspired by two international volunteers; Leanne Jewell and Shui Marquis who gave BASICS a new look by painting the transitional classroom and adorning the walls and ceilings with colorful artwork.

BASICS founder; Patricia Wilkins was inspired by this, and felt who better to benefit from such life; than the community. A local school was the next stop; where a classroom for Class 1 was transformed from a dark, lifeless room to a vibrant, colorful, inviting room for all children to learn. Posters were donated; and desks were also painted. BASICS International sponsored the paint, while volunteers and students donated their time to paint. Other schools, have also been painted since then.
