posted (July 30, 2019)
The Belize Youth Challenge cadets have a new whip to learn to drive in. Today the Belize Natural Energy handed over the keys to a Toyota Hilux pickup to CEO in the National Security Felix Enriquez. On hand to receive the donation was the Deputy Commandant of the BYC, Captain Ivan Locario. In a press release it says the vehicle will be used primarily to provide driving lessons to the cadets as part of their skills training and as an admin vehicle for the instructors.

The Youth Challenge opened its door in October 2017 as a joint endeavor between the Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Human Development, Social Transformation and Poverty Alleviation. The 10-month residential program offers at-risk adolescents an opportunity to change their behavior using military discipline, academics, and vocational and life skills training. 53 youths have successfully graduated from BYC."
