The NEMO supplies were delivered on Tuesday by Mayor Danny Guerrero along with NEMO Regional Coordinator Al Westby and Belize Rural South Coordinator Vanessa Parham.NEMO Minister Hon Edmond Castro and Area Representative Hon Manuel Heredia had visited the victims last Saturday morning, shortly after the devastating blaze and assured them that further assistance was on the way in the form of humanitarian relief supplies.
