PM tours scene in Maya Mopan

A fire in Maya Mopan last week left over fifty people homeless, most of them children. Today the Prime Minister Said Musa toured the area and found that seven of the twelve thatched houses were already being rebuilt. The Mennonite Community in Spanish Lookout has donated building supplies and this time the homes will have galvanized roofing. The labour is being provided by the men of the village under the supervision of Chairman Judencio Saki. The Prime Minister donated some foodstuff to the victims and commented on the assistance being provided by larger community. An account has been set up at Barclays? Bank for anyone who would like to donate to the cause. The fire started when sparks from a fire hearth began blowing around and a strong wind carried them towards the other homes.
