San Pedro Lions Club Donates to Sister Cecilia Home in Belize City

The San Pedro Lions Club donated a thousand dollars to the Sister Cecelia Home for the Elderly today, towards the facility’s hurricane recovery efforts. As we have reported, the home for the elderly sustained significant damage as a result of Hurricane Lisa. And, while the institution is well on its way to recovery, there is still much more left to do. So, today the President of the San Pedro Lion’s Club Everette Anderson handed over a thousand dollars to the home in Belize City.

“We will use it to help with the residence and buy things for the home. We lose a lot of things from the hurricane so it will come in real handy for us. We appreciate it.  So far we still have a lot of work to do. We have to really be there for the residents because some of them get nervous with the weather because they done went through a lot of weather in their times so we are trying to keep them calm and quiet. But, so far we are getting there. Everyone is ok so far so thank god for that.”
