Village Council Association Gets Belmopan HQ

Belize has 192 villages, and just about 50% of the population live in village, but largely the leaders of these villages are under-represented at the national level. But not any more. The National Association of Village Councils now has an office headquarters in Belmopan. Yesterday afternoon, the office was declared open by Association President Eleanor Sandling and National Development Minister Mark Espat who donated office equipment, including three computers and printers. The association has the job of quarrying issues form its 192 members and liaising with relevant ministries to get results.
