It's been another busy few days for the C.C.V.C. Firstly, there was an unfortunate accident with two of our staff while fumigating. An investigation is still being conducted to know what really was the cause of the accident. The employees got to the health center in time and were immediately attended to by the doctor and the nurse who did an amazing job. Nurse Cutkelvin and doctor, we thank you for your amazing efforts. Both employees were sent to Belize for precautionary measures and have been at home since yesterday resting. We wish you both a speedy recovery.

Vector Control is out here conducting training of our entire staff since Tuesday. They are being trained to properly handle equipments and the importance of safety measures. Vector Control left a manual fogger and next week we will commence home fumigation. All efforts are to contain and prevent cases of dengue since there is an outbreak in the region. We sincerely thank Ministry of Health, Mr. Levy and Mr. Matus for training our staff.

The chairlady and secretary met with the B.D.F. who will embark on a curriculum for sea worthiness skills at Ocean Academy. This program will compliment Ocean Academy as well as our community. Our hope is that a small base can be set up in the future to complement the police department and facilitate the community with assistance when needed. A line of communication remains open with the B.D.F. We sincerely thank them for their visit.

Several concerns have been sent in to the C.CV.C. from North Caye Caulker. Today a couple councilors went over to visit the area and better understand the needs and concerns of the residents. As a team, we will continue to work diligently with and for our community.
