Toyota Hilux for Belize Youth Challenge

Belmopan, Tuesday, July 30, 2019. The Belize Youth Challenge Program which offers life-changing skills training for “at risk” adolescents today got a boost from a corporate citizen.

Belize Natural Energy (BNE), handed over a Toyota Hilux pickup truck to the program during a brief ceremony in Belmopan.

According to a government press release, the donated pickup truck “will be used primarily to provide driving lessons to the cadets as part of their skills training and as an admin vehicle for the cadre of instructor who are responsible for the discipline and daily administration of the course.”
