BELIZE NATURAL ENERGY LIMITED REPAIRED CALLA CREEK HAMMOCK BRIDGE

In late October, Belize Natural Energy Ltd. repaired the Calla Creek hammock bridge that was destroyed by the recent flooding in the Cayo District. The bridge is a vital lifeline for the area, connecting residents on both sides of the river. While it was down children could not go to school, many villagers could not travel to work and some risked their lives crossing the rapidly moving water in small canoes. Understanding the urgency of the situation, BNE sent a skilled crew and the necessary building materials to the area where work was carried out to reconstruct the bridge. A release from BNE says that the bridge reconstruction was completed to specifications provided by the Ministry of Works, who oversaw the completion of the project. Belize Natural Energy says that it is important for them to support local communities and they take their responsibility as a corporate citizen seriously. The company hopes that the hammock bridge will serve the community of Calla Creek for many years to come.
