and her experience in social work had helped her to get to know many poor people and their support for her in every election had been very impressive. She was the only politician who made no secret of her opposition to the granting of a casino concession in the country of Belize. During her term of office as Minister of Education and Housing, that Ministry constructed low-cost housing in the Kings Park area and the Lake Independence area. The Hon. Gwendolyn Lizarraga deserves to be regarded as truly one of the great women this country has produced.Last, but not least, the humble Simon Lamb. This gentleman possessed a great spirit of patriotism, and this was displayed when he did his best to continue the 10th of September celebrations. This annual celebration went well for about 10 years, but unfortunately, interest began to fade. It was then that the love for his country stirred up in the soul of this humble Belizean, Simon Lamb. He took it upon himself to gather people together, and to march and celebrate on the 10th of September not for emotion, but to honor those first Belizeans known as the Baymen, and to inspire his countrymen to love Belize. Because of his determination and his efforts, the celebration of St. Georges Caye grew big in the 1920s and up to present day, it is still celebrated. This is enough evidence that Simon Lamb, a humble Belizean, portrayed for us love, devotion, patriotism, and dedication to the development of Belize.In the end, we all wish that we could one day do something positive for our beautiful country like these great people did. Because of this, these people are perfect models of how a true Belizean should live and are thus regarded as great Belizean heroes/ heroines who should be respected by all!...
