It’s a pretty hot button topic but it’s not new, in fact, it is Belize’s 3rd Amnesty Program granting permanent residency like in 1999 and/or citizenship like in 1984. I wanted to discuss the potential economic benefits since in this world development policy usually is guided by economic benefits.

The Natasha Stuart PodcastDOMINIQUE NORALEZThis episode begins with an excerpt from Dominique's podcast, Walasaha. I chose to do this because it's very difficult to describe Dominique in so many words, so I figured it would be best to show you. I still cannot find words that would be sufficient to describe Dominique and all her achievements. For this reason, I urge you if you don't already, to follow her. You can also Google her to see all her amazing accomplishments, the list is endless. Dominique is a changemaker and she will definitely be leaving Belize a better place than she found it!
