Smart, City Hall and Belize Diabetes Association joins forces

Safiyyah’s coming up in a few minutes. But there’s one program that will be happening in Belize City on Saturday morning that will be one third entertainment, one third giveaway, one third healthy, and one hundred percent for your benefit. The Belize City Council in collaboration with Speednet’s Smart and the Belize Diabetes Association will be stationed in front of the Belize Bank Headquarters for the council’s monthly Concert in the Park series to entertain and educate the public.  Belize City Councillor Dion Leslie said more about the event.

Dion Leslie, Belize City Councillor

“This weekend the City Council, in partnership with Smart, the Belize Diabetes Association will be having our monthly concert in the park series. As you know, before the council had been doing it on its own; now we’ve partnered up with Smart, who is a good corporate sponsor and they’ve brought in the Belize Diabetes Association who will be doing free testing and free education out there in front of Belize Bank. We have the Pantempers Steel Band who will be performing from ten o’clock to two o’clock in the afternoon and Smart will be doing free giveaways and promotions. So we encourage people to come out. It’s going to be clean fun, family entertainment. It’s going to be in front of the Belize Bank. We usually used to do it in front of the Scotiabank but being that we brought in Smart and the Diabetes Association we kinda need a larger space so we moved to the Belize Bank. But we encourage to come out and enjoy even if you don’t have any money to spend, even if you come out just for the entertainment. Bring your children. Maybe you get something free from Smart. So we’re just asking people to please come out tomorrow.”

    This is a wonderful idea, We need to educate Belizeans more on the dangers of diabetes and how important a good diet and exercise is
