The Salvation Army today received a generous measure of help in its campaign to bring a smile to needy children at Christmas. Presenting a cheque for one thousand dollars to News 5’s Stewart Krohn, who accepted on behalf of the Salvation Army, was Speednet’s Chairman, Jaime Briceño.

?How did you come up with the idea to make this donation to Salvation Army??

?I was looking at the News and I saw you on television talking about this and I said this one of the best ways to give back to the Belizean people; something for the kids, especially.?
