Ramiro Ramirez, Minister of State, Rural Transformation

“I want to give thanks to Taiwan for giving us not only this opportunity but my ministry, our Ministry of Rural Development had benefiting from these projects all over Belize.  We had inaugurated something like this in Machakil Ha and elsewhere down south.  Thank you, Taiwan, for helping us with such a program that you are bringing here in Belize.  The water is very essential, we spoke this morning about the water, especially with the environment that we are having these days.  We are having too much water but that noh means that the water one of these days won’t be scarce.  We have to be real, we have to be human, we have to take care of the water.  Before, when we use to brush our teeth, we had a glass of water.  Now that we have all the facilities with the water board and the system, we just open the faucet and we forget that we are brushing our teeth.  We’re throwing away water and we need to mind and take care of the water because it’s very important.”
