Free eye surgeries for Belizeans and 100,000 other Latin Americans.

HIV/AIDS programmes.

Mainly health and education. Students in Cuba are there on scholarships mainly in medical programmes.

Having seen many many of the boats that arrived in South florida I have to say that one is one of the better built I've seen.

They may want a pretty penny for it 2mile!! make sure they include the oars if you buy it! because someone stole the engine.

The motor got looted from our Cuban friends boat yesterday.
I had a chuckle at the 12:00 channel 7 News cast saying the BDF was repairing and refueling for a quick and discreet departure.
'On the television'...
I guess they think the Cuban Ambassador doesn't watch the news.
I'm disappointed at the government publishing the deception about the repair of the boat. It will cause me to forever doubt the press releases coming out of that office.
The boat has not been visited by BDF and there is only looting going on, no repair.
Belize is still intimated by Cuba.

The Belizean medical students are provided with free education, housing and meals and a small stipend for personal items. No loans to repay.

We are provided with qualified Cuban doctors and nurses.

These are important charitable donations that Cuba provide to Belize although many people are not aware of these programmes.

The eye clinic is a huge benefit for many folks who cannot afford the surgery and would go blind if Cuba didn't send over a plane, take the patients to Cuba, house and feed them and bring them home again.

The Belize maritme wing personnel did visit the cuban boat on the beach.

The engine was removed from the vessel on the first day.

And who believes anything in the press these days? Everything is always slanted one way or the other. Propaganda abounds - no matter which country it derives from.

The engine was looted on the first day is what you mean the maritime wing didn't remove it. I got the date wrong.
Why does Belize need charity from Cuba?
Is it worth our integrity ?
