“It’s my country and we wanted to do something for the country. I approached my Rotary Club at one of the meetings and I told them we need help down in Belize. The Rotary Club got together and we passed the basket around and collected about eight hundred and odd dollars. Some of the Rotarians stocked it up with more money, the club donated more money and that’s how we came up with eight thousand and odd U.S. dollars, sixteen thousand, five hundred Belize dollars. and I understand that the club here is involved with the Golden Stream Village and if it can help the school there, perfect.”

The second cheque was received from International director of Rotary in Grand Cayman, Raymond Whittaker. The five thousand dollar donation will be used for the club’s charity programmes.
