    congratutalition shalini, at least you tried your best. and the rest thanks for representing us abroad. more sports facilities we need in Belize to major this sports and of course finances from sponsores. maybe next year we’ll better up and bring in the gold. keep trying and never give up. it’s better to spend in athletes than spending to mantain criminals in hattieville with the tax payers money.
