Remember way back in the day <\/a>when I submitted the Consititutional amendment to the Solicitor General for vetting? All that I requested was for him to look through a one and a half page document, and the only change I had made was to insert the three letter word – age.

After taking them to task<\/a> re Older Persons and HIV\/AIDS the Ambassador called our office and has asked me to attend a meeting they are having on Friday morning in Belize City. From my understanding they are discussing the draft National Policy on HIV and AIDS and would like some contribution from the National Council on Ageing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
