The Rotary Club of Belize handed over the keys to a brand new house to a resident of “QSâ€￾ Street in the Faber’s Road area this morning.  It is a wooden 2 bedroom bungalow, and while it may not seem like much, for the new house owner, 35 year old Tanesha Plunkett, it is a prayer answered.  

Tanesha Plinkett - New Home Owner
"I'm a single mother of 4 right, I haven't had a job for a couple months, I have been struggling because I am the only one supporting them and you know it's hard when you're a single mother to care of kids, provide and pay rent. So a friend of mine who is a member of the Rotary club spoke to them and ask them to assist in any way they could. I didn't believe I would have gotten the house right because it look a long while to get back a reply but I got back a reply saying that I was approved and this is how it came about."

Tessa Usher - President, Rotary Club Belize
"This house cost about 22,000 dollars but like I said it has been donated, funds donated through Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher and Mr. and Mrs. Shane Miguess from Canada. We tried to squeeze in it is a 2 bedroom home, it has a bathroom as well, a dining and a living, space is not all that big but it is comforting and fitting for Tanesha and her 4 children. Based on how we do the construction if there is a need for items in the home, we try our very best to assist in that area so she was blessed also to receive not only the home but also the bunk beds, the stove, dining table and chairs."

Tanesha Plinkett - New Home Owener
"I just want to say thanks to the Rotary Club of Belize, thanks to my friend Adean McDonald because she's been with us throughout this whole entire thing, just want to say thanks to them. Thanks to Mr. Woods, Ms. Tessa and everyone else is Rotary Club, I'm very thankful."

This house is valued at $22 thousand dollars. Rotary is scheduled to donate another house in June.
