We are proud Belizeans

As a Belizean living outside of Belize for ten years I wanted to share some of the experiences I had growing up as a kid and living in the Port Loyola area with all the gang banging and so on. I haven't achieved what I want to but I am trying to make something out of myself. It haven't been easy one bit but I keep on trying until I achieve my goal. Wish me luck and pray for me.

God has been good to me and has given me three beautiful kids and a good wife to be with me as we continue to try to be someone in our world.

I am teacher and hope to continue teaching people of all ages to help them to find a better way to live and to be more conscious about themselves especially people who are suffering and those who have suffered because of whatever curcumstances .

You don't have to be a rocket scientest to know that those who suffer the most are those who are not educated and especially those who don't try to educate themselves.

Visitor:

 Not everything that are taught in schools are helpful to you and many of the things that you learn really don't help in real life. You have to know how to chose the best things in life to help you to survive and reach your goals, and dreams.

Remember that this world wasn't made for you so you have to make it for yourself and those you love.

We as black people have to realize that our heritage is slavery and destruction of our families. We were kidnapped and nobody came to our rescue except for the Almighty God. We don't have a legacy other than the above mentioned.

So what can we do? We can start settiny strong family values so that our kids can have a solid heritage when we are gone.We can't allow ourselves to let our children grow like wild grass. They will be more effective in our world to achieve success and and won't go to gail like so many of us. Kids have to be love and comprehension if they are going to be anything in life.

I am from Belize!

Population:
Today Belize's population is estimated to be at approximately 273,700. The country is a melting pot of many races and over the years the muliti-racial make-up has risen through the influx of many people of Central America, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean. Males outnumber the female population only by 1%.

The population census shows that the main ethnic groups: Mestizo, Creole, Ketchi, Yucatec and Mopan Mayas, Garifuna and East Indian maintains a large percent of Belize's population. Other ethnic groups: German and Dutch Mennonites, Chinese, Arabs and Africans accounts for a small percentage of the population. The ethnic groups, however, are heavily intermixed.

Languages:
English is the official language of Belize. However, English Creole is widely spoken and remains a distinctive part of everyday conversations for most Belizeans. Spanish is also common and is taught in primary and secondary schools in order to further develop bi-lingualism.

Spanish is spoken as a mother tongue by the majority of the people in the Orange Walk and Corozal Districts, north of Belize and the Cayo District in the west, In the southern Districts: Stann Creek and Toledo, there are people whose first language is Garifuna or Maya.

Capital:
Belmopan is the capital of the country. Built in 1970, it is the seat of Government and has been classified as the Garden City of the country. It was created following extensive damage to the former capital Belize City, caused by Hurricane Hattie in 1961. Belmopan is geographically located at the centre of the country, some 80 kilometers to the south-west of Belize City on higher ground. It serves as a hurricane refuge for Belizeans and has the largest number of hurricane shelters in the country. Its population today is estimated at 11,100 and is increasing as more people relocate to the Capital. However, Belize City still remains the hub of commercial activity and one of the most urbanized centers of Belize with a population of 58,000 people.
