Mennonite Businessmen Stranded in Chet
posted (May 13, 2020)
Among those waiting Belizeans - or big business people that Elrington referred to - are 7 members of the Shipyard Mennonite Community including community leader, Juan Martinez.

His community members say his absence at this trying time is especially difficult for the many who depend on his guidance.

Martinez had led a group to Peru in March to survey a land purchase. They were deep in the Peruvian jungle when borders started to close, and while they left South America in time they got stuck right next door in Chetumal.

This morning the San Pedro Sun spoke to John Dyck whose brother David is among the group that he says is desperate to get home before their limited funds run out.

According to Shipyard community leadership, their people would have no problem undergoing the required quarantine. They have written a letter of urgent request to the Attorney General.
