SUBJECT: BELIZE'S DAIMLERCHRYSLER AGENT DONATE TO PLWAS
1. On January 17, Bravo Motors, Belize's authorized
agent/distributor for DaimlerChrysler, donated the proceeds of a
2006 Nissan Grand Raffle to "The Living With Hope Foundation" to
help people living with HIV and AIDS.
2. Bravo Motors is the authorized agent in Belize for
DaimlerChrysler and imports mostly SUVs and trucks from Chrysler,
Dodge and Jeep. The company also imports a small selection of
foreign vehicles, such as the Nissan Frontier that the firm raffled
last December. Bravo's General Manager Eddie Bouloy claimed that he
was inspired early last year to donate the profits of the Nissan
marketing campaign when he learned that most of what Living With
Hope collects goes to helping people living with HIV and AIDS
(PLWAs).
3. The company later teamed up with an importer of building
materials to raise some funds to help the Living With Hope
Foundation empower those persons in Belize who are living with HIV
and AIDS. Mr. Bouloy said that he intends to include a portion for
charities in the company's future campaigns/raffles. Also of note
is that the winner of the Nissan Frontier donated BZ$500 to Living
With Hope.
4. The Living With Hope Foundation is a three-year-old charitable
organization that offers financial assistance to those PLWAs in
need. It has given monies out to cover medical expenses, food,
clothing, and most importantly to purchase income-generating items
such as weed-eaters and sewing machines to help the PLWAs become
self-sufficient. To date 85 people have benefited from the service.
Belize's Ambassador and Special Envoy for Children, Gender and
HIV/AIDS, Dolores Balderamos-Garcia, received the donations on
behalf of the PLWAs in her capacity as chairperson of the
foundation's steering committee.
