I am sure you know about the unprecedented floods in mainland Belize which have a devastating impact on many poor families dependant on subsistence farming. Their crops are gone, their few possessions swept away or ruined by the floods, in many cases their life stock has drowned leaving them with nothing and the water is not expected to recede for at least a week or longer which means there are many people in really desperate need of support. If anybody contacts you who would like to help, please let me know, I can put them in touch with a number of reliable agencies who will make sure that everything really reaches the ones in need.

My apologies for going around with the hat in my hand, but it really is for a good cause.
