Street Beat is a Belize Red Cross initiative and is open to all branches. This activity is being funded for 2 years by the Norwegian Red Cross. Ms. Tina Gill from the Belize Red Cross recently came out to help the San Pedro Branch prepare for the activity and assist in making a budget.

A few Street Beat objectives:
