“We had these great speakers in the country, they were here at an insurance congress and they offered their time at no cost because they really wanted to do something for Belize and we thought it was a no brainer. Building the fiber of our country, the dreams, getting rid of the innabitions of our young people is most important for all of us. As a corporate sponsor, we didn’t only do this on our own, we brought in other companies; Radisson, the Lodge at Chaa Creek, Bowen and Bowen and Grace Kennedy and everybody joined in together because we believe that these people really are our future, they are our leaders and if we don’t take care of them, grow and develop them; the should needs to be nurtured in this country. We are in tough times and if we take care of our young people then our future is set and we are going to have va great future.”

“This is every second form in Belize except for Sadie Vernon school because they are having exams. This morning we were in San Pedro and we did San Pedro High School. Tomorrow we head to San Ignacio at 10:45 and we are going to be doing the entire San Ignacio/Benque area, 1,000 kids would be present. This is over 4,000 people being touched – their lives being made different by something like this knowing that they can make their life happen. It’s an awesome event, it’s about them and not us.”

“Consuelo Kickbusch; she is retired army colonel, she had a really hard life. She was abused by many men in her life. She had a really difficult mother who treated her really badly. She rose to forgive and now she is a self-made millionaire after coming out of the barrio in Laredo Texas.”

“Then there is Roy Juarez; Roy’s mother was beaten everyday by his father, finally the mother left the father but ended up leaving the children for another man and leaving the children homeless. He raised his three siblings on his own. He went through a lot of hardships and pains and distrust and now he has learned to forgive all of them and now they are all back. Forgiveness is another key message here today.”

“Then there is Pamela Perkins; Pamela talks about the importance of understanding you, not allowing the world to define you. You defining yourself and making the impression that you want to make. The world will define you from what you give off and you have to set that pace.”

“And then finally Bert Oliva; he is the wealth advisor to Donald Trump, he does this for business. He grows large corporations but he is turning it into something for kids and he is well known around the world but his thing is make it happen, don’t sit on the sidelines, you got to play the game. If you are on the bleachers all the time, you will never win the championship and that’s what it’s all about.”

The team of motivational speakers head to San Ignacio Town tomorrow -where they will be talking to over a thousand students of the Cayo District.
