Salvation Army School/shelter renovated
One of Belize City’s hurricane shelters has been completely renovated through funds from the Social Investment Fund. The Salvation Army School on Orange Street took in three hundred people during Mitch and it became apparent that the facility needed urgent repairs to the roof, termite-ridden floor and restrooms. This week the school’s two hundred students returned to school to find a new and stronger roof and refurbished classrooms. The school is a designated hurricane shelter.
