“The three days event which sort to increase the capacity of the Youth Arm in an effort to fulfill its mission engaged the young people in a series of interactive discussions on issues that they are currently facing.  From the discussions, participants that attended the convention came up with a number of recommendations that they will take action on to reach their goals.  Conversely, also as a part of the convention, a national election of officers was also held.  Elected as president is Pamela Zuniga from Hopkins village; vice-president is Erica Zuniga from Belize City; Secretary for the Youth Arm is Kenya Castillo from Punta Gorda; Treasurer is Odessa Augustine also from Hopkins Village.  Over a hundred young people from throughout the country of Belize participated in the event.  Reporting for Love News, Harry Arzu, in Dangriga.”
