Taiwan donates $400,000 for Keith relief

Their first donation to Belize’s hurricane relief effort, a hastily written cheque for twenty-thousand dollars, was simply the amount saved by canceling the embassy’s national day party scheduled for October tenth. On Monday, however, the government of Taiwan reached much deeper into its bank account when Ambassador Charles Tsai presented a draft for four hundred thousand dollars to Prime Minister Said Musa. The funds will be administered by the National Emergency Management Organisation for hurricane relief and reconstruction. It may be recalled that the Prime Minister’s last official act before the arrival of Keith, was bidding farewell to Taiwanese Vice President Annette Lu.
