“We want to celebrate families. It’s very important to start to celebrate families in Belize. Families are an important element in our life, in a child’s life, in an adult’s life so it’s important for us to celebrate it. We will also have games for children, such as the watermelon-eating contest, lime and spoon, three-legged race for them to be engaged with their families.”
