Rotary, a Serious Partner in Developing Belize

Also at the head table today were Belize City Mayor Bernard Wagner and Deputy Prime Minister Patrick Faber. While he is not a member of Rotary, DPM Faber says that the local Rotary Clubs enjoy the support of his ministry. Rotarians have been instrumental in education and other keys development areas.

“The rotary has been influential in terms of literacy over the years. We’ve worked with rotary clubs here locally and also clubs in Canada to see technology be introduced in some of our schools. You know they also have an initiative where they provide us with playgrounds in several of our communities and even in our schools. We continue to work in a number of areas, putting bathrooms in remote areas, working with water projects. So I take these opportunities to engage with the rotary very seriously because they are a serious partner in the work of developing Belize.”
