Good Samaritan donates bus shed to community

He has worked in construction for decades, he tried politics and ran against Zenaida Moya Flowers as the U.D.P.’s mayoral candidate in 2006 and on Tuesday Rudolph Anderson added Good Samaritan to his list of ventures. Anderson, better known as Sir Andie “The Happy Home Builder”, decided to assist his community and donated a bus shed for the benefit of the students of Bernice Yorke School. The shed is officially open for use and Anderson told us he made the donation because he simply wanted to help his community. But he was not pleased about the City Council’s response to his request for a garbage container to be placed near the shed.

“And you funded everything from your business or—how did it all work out?”

Rudolph “Sir Andie” Anderson
“I did it from my own business. I had one company decide to help, which was Belize Global but dah my own initiative. And if yoh notice, I put donated by Sir Andie on it because people believe dah di mayor give me wah job and ah di try fi tell dehn no, dah me so I put donated by Sir Andie.”

“You will be maintaining the shed as well or are you just donating?”

Rudolph “Sir Andie” Anderson
“Yes, I wah maintain it. I wah do di maintenance. Funny that I asked di City Council fi donate di trash can and dehn tell me fi buy it so I had to buy di garbage can. One lady pass and tell me dat dehn neva si wah bus shed build out ah cement. But from I start my business I believe in this: when we build let us think that we build forever.”

Anderson says the garbage container costs over four hundred dollars to build.
