Letter from Lucia Che - Silver Creek, Belize |
|
|
Dear SHI, My name is Lucia Che. I am 34 years old. I live in the village of Silver Creek, in the Toledo District. I am married to Pedro Che and together we have six children. We have at present three children attending school, two primary and one going to high school. March 25th of this year will make it one year since we have join SHI in Belize. I am glad to say that we have a fish tank, which improve our family diet and generate small income for my family. Visitors to the community often stop by to visit the pond. We have fished out lot of fish from the pond, which was sold to people that, ask in the village. We have sold over ten pounds of fish at BZ$2/lb. Apart from selling the fish my husband is doing his regular fieldwork and tends to the nursery at home. He has some 50 coffee [Catura] plants in the nursery, which will be transplanted in June. Besides these activities we [Catarina and I] are doing art and craft work at home during our leisure time. Catarina, my eldest daughter, 18 years, does stone carving while I do my cuxtals and embroidery, which usually sell good to tourist in the village. Thanks, Lucia Che |
