Today Scotia Bank donated $100,000 for hurricane relief efforts. Now we know, it has been 2 months since Earl hit Belize, but there are many families still in need of help. At a short afternoon ceremony, Scotia Bank handed over $60,000 to Hand in Hand Ministries, $35,000 to the Belize Red Cross and also gave scholarships to the Deborah Humes' 2 daughters. As you will remember, Humes, the Soca Moca band member was crushed beneath a house on Dolphin Street. We spoke to the Managing Director of Scotia bank about the donation , as well as the recipients.
Humes' daughters got $2,500 each. Alesha Hylton is in Standard 6 and the scholarship will pay for her 1st form tuition, fees and books. For Primelie Humes, her share will go to paying for her 2nd form tuition and fees.
