Arenal village in at the western edge of Belize - half of the village is in Guatemala, the other half in Belize. And while contraband is often the main business in this frontier community, now the 400 Belizean residents have a suped-up resource center to keep them busy. The newly constructed Centre valued at $315 thousand dollars through a loan from the Caribbean Development Bank was opened today.
The building features a new computer lab including 5 computers, with all the peripherals. A part of the project is that eight young persons from the village were trained in Computer Skills Training, and Desktop Publishing. They learned graphic design applications and how to create artwork for print, advertisements, logos, and book layout.
