purged a previous reply, this is not a bash Cuba board...

amen

Cuba has been very good to Belize, beginning with Fidels support for independence years back (Bay of Pigs was staged from Guatemala) and currently offering many scholarships for Belize students to study in Cuba and sending Cuban docs and nurses to Belize to work within our medical system. The last Cuban Amb was well respected and contributed alot to cultural development programs and the like. Their assistance is greatly appreciated by this country.
