What we do?
In 2013, we dared to start teaching Belizean lessons which were previously not taught to the masses but reserved for the elites. We did this to show to roots Belizeans, some useful paths to personal development in our homeland. Watch ya.
Our books are:
(1) A History of Enterprise in Belize (Available as printed copies here)
(2) Belize Facts and Figures (Available for digital download in Windows and Android here)
(3) Workbook for Belize Facts and Figures (Available as an interactive Windows or Android app here)
Featured Products Purchase here for Windows or Android
Why did we do this?
A lot of us Belizeans are not reaching our full potential because we lack access to high-impact, meaningful information that can drive positive personal outcomes. So, we wrote something that showed connections that were not shown before: Where we came from as a nation, what challenges face most Belizeans as we become adults, and what are unique opportunities for those of us who stay to develop Belize.
After our first printing, we aligned our book to the Belizean Studies curriculum that emerged in 2019, the same year that the first edition of Belize Facts and Figures was published and printed. The curriculum teaches about Belize with eight big questions below.
After we published our second edition, we published a workbook and a workbook app in 2021. The workbook app is pretty cool. Basically, it’s the workbook on a laptop or an Android phone. Anybody can use it and anybody can check the students’ progress. About ½ of the work in the app is computer-graded and ½ has to be graded by the teacher.
By the time you finish using these products, you will be an expert on Belize and you will see where you can fit in. You will be at a distinct advantage while moving forward in life, but we want you to advance joyfully and having fun all the way.

Belizeans love green forests and blue waters. But many of the forests have been abused and we have sent at least one of our marine species into extinction.
Belize’s coast and the land are vulnerable so we must be proactive in protecting these from the rising sea.
There is constant need to be vigilant that we protect our forest ecosystems from abuse.
Deforestation has occurred in Belize and we should replant forest species like mahogany, rosewood, granadillo and zericote.
Parrots have been “overloved” in Belize and their habitats need to be protected. Save this map, print it and shade the area of the Bladen Volcanic Member where Scarlet McKaws frequent during specific times of the year. Investigate the geology of this area and tell why it is special.

Consequently, thousands of acres of natural healthy forests in the northwest, coastal north, west of the Maya Mountains, Winward slope of the Maya Mountains, and Toledo District are under conservation.
Wood is a most valuable resource from these areas that can bring environmental, social and economic advancement to micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and rural workers in a sustainable circular economy.
By using wood in a legal and sustainable way, SMEs both benefit from and protect forests under Belize’s forest laws which have successfully guarded individual timber species and entire forest ecosystems since 1927.
If we cut forests unsustainably, some of the outcomes would include:
- Changes in weather patterns.
- Disappearance of pollinator species like bees, then decline in agriculture leading to food scarcity.
- Landslide and landslips.
- Epic floods.
- Coastal erosion.
- Heating of our environment.
- Unavailability of forest foods such as fruits and game meat.
- Soil erosion.
- Scarcity of clean water
- Air pollution and poor air quality
- Lack of wood for building.
- Desertification
