Speaking to Locals

While in Belize I’ve been trying to talk with local residents. I didn’t know why I decided to interview as many people as I could. I wanted to know what they thought of their country and what they wanted to see changed about their country.

The responses were consistent. They all wanted to see crime reduced. Sometimes speaking is with one person, inspiring a single person or talking with someone who merely needs to find encouragement in something or someone.

Speaking does not always have to be in front of an audience. Sometimes, speaking to one person and seeing the light dawn in their eyes and hearing they take action because of my words is as rewarding as speaking to a large audience.

I had a goal to find at least one person each day for the ten days I was in Belize and inspire or motivate them to have a better life. I wanted to leave my mark on the people I met there.

Here are some of the results:

• Phillip, a cab driver/musician needed a keyboard for his daughter. I found one in San Pedro and told him where to find it. I suggested he start a music festival to support the music community.
• Kareem, another cab driver wanted to have a retails store, but I told him how to start a business through eBay and not have the overhead. He got his first order for tennis shoes before I left.
• Brenda yet another cab driver wanted to build a senior facility for women and I told her how to get the service organizations behind it and raise the funds.
• Carla, the bar tender wanted to start an organization for abused women. I told her about Battered Women and how to get support and start the organization.
• Shaggy, the bar tender in San Pedro wanted to build a house for his mother in Chicago so she’d move there. I introduced him to Nickole who has the polystyrene material he wants to use and is in Belize.
• Nickole had severe back spasms and I used the Scalar Wave machine on his back and got the spasms to diminish. I also am getting him the contact for the plastic infused concrete that I heard about.
• Osmond the bellman at the hotel was in severe back pain and I was able to eliminate the back pain with the Scalar Wave Laser.
• Dolly the hotel store manager hadn’t met anyone in the four months she’d been living there. I found someone at the ferry building who was from her country and was able to introduce them so Dolly would feel more at home.
• Garbutt wanted to start a soccer league and I told him how to do it and how to involve the service organizations.
• Sarah who was a grandmother and worried about her grandson growing up in the environment wanted to do something but didn’t know what. I told her about our neighborhood watch system and she agreed to start one in her neighborhood.
• There were waitresses, store owners, employees and even a policeman I found something to encourage them, direct them and find a way of helping them.
