| This afternoon, the Belize City Council held a grant ceremony to recognize 15 children who they will assist with back-to-school funding.
They are all members City Council's Child Advisory Board, which was set up to give youths a seat at the table where City Hall makes policy decisions. The Councillors say that the Child Advisory Board often give their opinions on different policies that could affect the children of the City.
For over 2 years, they've been diligently working with these municipal leaders, and today, as show of appreciation, they were gifted with a back-to-school package. 7News was there, and we spoke with the City Councillor responsible for children about the advice they have gotten from this board:
The Child Advisory Board is made up of children at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education.
