BELIZE TOWN FINALLY GETTING A WATER SYSTEM

Old Maya village now a more modern town. San Antonio of Western Belize

BASIC NEEDS FUND TO START RUDIMENTARY WATER SYSTEM FOR SAN ANTONIO TOWN, Belize, about 12 miles from my house.

I see by the newspaper advertisements that San Antonio Town is get get a rudimentary water system in the Western Cayo District. This is an old Mayan village, that developed on market gardening, into a prosperous town, with a lot of modern concrete houses. These people are productive and between San Antonio Town, Santa Familiar village and the Valley of Peace farmers, they keep the Twin Towns Macal River market supplied with vegetables.
I never understood how those people could live there without a water supply? They had a system back ten years ago, but the two wells supplying the water system dried up. Since then nothing! It is an attractive place and they are industrious people and anybody who claims Mayan Indian thatched roof villagers lack potential, because they are illiterate and uneducated should know what I know from the past forty years of passing through this community. The change and advancement has been astounding and puts the port of Belize City people to shame. I wonder what a RUDIMENTARY WATER SYSTEM IS?
