    Donate to belize if you like. But if you can help us get rid of this government that only remembers people when elections are around. Then just fill thier pockets and do a few projects in our small cities and show it on tv to feel good about them selves and make people feel they are doing something meanwhile they fill thier pockets, then we have people like you that want to help, big organizations that come to help us build our roads , build our schools, feed our hungry people, just to have the people in charge fight each other to take credit for things they would never do with the money they hold in their pockets. Help us get rise of them, John mcAfee tried to expose them and they started to look for him to shut him up.

    stop talk crop it is not poverty affecting the country its people like you, Parents are the root of all causes just like in America that has millionaires and billionaire's that pamper babies above 18 years old. Spear the rod and spoil their child. stiffen up parents stop believing bull crop and stop being emotional with your children and feeling compassion for them when they commit a crime

    The serious problems we see in Belize is not solely the fault and responsibility of the parents but the society as a whole. It is a reflection of the failure of government and the society to provide the environment for growth and success. Lack of commitment. Corruption breeds many woes and spreads its tentacles into all corners of our society.

    realistically speaking, the south and belize city are the places with the most poverty, whilst the west and north are fine

    • @ednadiaz4193
      @ednadiaz4193 3 місяці тому

      Really? Realistically speaking what do you mean by " the west and north are fine"? How would you define "fine"? Is it not a real issue when there are those both in the north and west who barely keep up? Survival mode means "your doing fine"? The reality is that all over the country there is poverty. Hard working people who barely survive even if they work as hard as they can. The sad reality is that many think that this is 'ok'. It's normal. It's what they deserve. 😢

    • @NuriGarbutt
      @NuriGarbutt 2 місяці тому

      You’re out of touch with reality in Belize, simply because poverty is more prevalent in rural areas of Belize.
