Feelgood story of the day. Rotary brought in water filters to villages all around Belize, including 9 in Cayo. Now many thousands more Belizeans have a clean source of water. Thanks, Rotary!
"The Rotary Club of San Ignacio was pleased to partner with the Rotary Club of Belize City to distribute Sawyer Point One Water Filters to nine rural villages in the Cayo District. Filters were delivered with the help of visiting Rotarians from Clovis, New Mexico and Tulsa, Oklahoma. The nine villages that received filters were, Duck Run 1, Duck Run 2, Duck Run 3, Los Tambos, Santa Teresita, Selena, La Gracia, El Progresso and Cool Shade. Providing safe drinking water is one of the main areas of focus for Rotary International and hopefully many more villages will benefit from this humanitarian effort."

Pure water is rarely available in these kind of places. With people there drinking unclean water may be very dangerous for their lives. This causes many lives to be taken away due to lack of clean water. Poverty is related to water since they may not afford to buy clean water or even produce clean water. Water is essential for humans and poverty is preventing them from drinking clean water. If I am one of the children whom get to use the water filters, I would be very thankful because I will feel safe drinking water rather than having to feel unsafe and worried drinking unclean water. |

Roni Martinez and the students of El Progresso Government school planted some trees for Earth Day. Well done, and well said!
"Today we celebrated Earth Day. Today we planted for the future, not for us, but for the generations coming behind us. Not because we care about ourselves, but because we want to leave a little memory to remind those coming behind us... that we cared about them."

Feelgood news of the day. Cayo's El Progresso Primary School is going solar after the Taiwanese embassy donated two sets of solar panels and batteries. Channel 7 news has more on the story.
"That's after the Taiwanese embassy handed over two sets of solar panels and the batteries to the school in the Cayo District. And they need it, because they don't have any electricity! The donation came through the effort of volunteers from the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan visited who visited Belize and saw the conditions at the school."
