“We contacted a gentleman by the name of Al Westby up in San Ignacio, he is a member of NEMO and he had mentioned to us that those folks really need some help. So with the help of the Caye Caulker Water Taxi the business community of Caye Caulker, the Caye Caulker Village Council, Lobster Fest Committee, and the Veterans Football Club we have come up with donations. This is our second trip in. We had sent up a truckload on Friday and now we are going up personally to meet these people and give them what we can offer them.”

“We giving away, like taking along with us, a lot of clothing, a lot of food like noodles, rice, flour sugar, biscuit, cans of corn beef, sausages – you name and we got it. Most of the things here right now we got it from the community of Caye Caulker.
We have to remember that today for me, tomorrow for you.”
