“History will continue in the village of San Jose Succotz through building of this multi purpose building  and all of you residents and tour guides  that at the end of the day, it’s of most benefit to all. Continuing to have a place where we will celebrate our activities, the festivities,  weddings, meetings, trainings, and especially  the day of San Jose Succotz. This was the area and will continue to be the area  where the village will celebrate its day. So this is history and continues to be history.  Forty three years we are shy away and twenty days for the anniversary of this specific building, Forty three years and after that  we are going to bring state of the art building,  something that this village really needs, something that will put Cayo on the map as well. Teaching all that is there to teach of our culture and heritage of this village and villagers. So at the end of the day, I thank each and every one of you  for the support that you all had given us.”
