How cool is that you guys put up the gofundme for him! And how sad is it tha violence is such a big deal going on there, I truly wasnt aware of this all. I hope this post will make bonkers payout for you guys, music (drumming) is life and future, more than we can imagine

Good luck!

Thank you. He is a true friend and brother, and I would do absolutely anything for him. The violence here, while nothing like the US, is way out of control for a country so small, and they simply don't have the resources to do proper police work. Most of the violence is centered in Belize City, so it's still a safe country to visit, but it's a different story for locals, especially those living in Belize City. I hope we get a big payout too! Music (and all art for that matter) is a big part of the solution to be sure. Thanks for stopping by with such a sweet and thoughtful comment!

Wow what a cool story about a powerfully connected & in tune man! Ini would love this story so I’ll share it with him. Thanks for sharing his great mission with us!!

So glad you enjoyed it! He really is incredibly powerful. Hope Ini enjoys it too!!!

Thanks for sharing this story. It is true that one person singularly can make a difference to many lives. He is very inspiring. Its great that you're supporting him.

My pleasure to tell his story. He is always an inspiration to me. Im glad to help him, though im pretty sure he helps me more. I really hope this post gets more notice.

What an wonderful and in the end also sad story you bring in your post! But let the positive side win! Super this guy is able to raise the interest in music and drumming.

It really is beautiful and tragic all at once. He just keeps on being an inspiration and blessing to everyone.

How uplifting. That's for writing this story. Upvoted!

Thanks, Joe! It's important to honor our heroes!

Thank you for telling us about Emmeth, I love to hear how one person can make such a huge difference in a community, if only more people could be like him. These are the stories we need to hear to inspire others and well done you in helping him out. You rock supermama xx Thank you also for informing me about what is happening in Belize, it was not something I was aware of.

Yes, mama! He has had such a tremendous impact, and I think it is so important to honor that. It's so easy to just go along doing what you're doing and not realize the tremendous impact of your actions. I love to help him when I can, and he has certainly helped me probably more than he knows. He actually built a beautiful drum for my Lulu for her 4th birthday. What he has done for this country and his people deserves abundant resources and accolades. If I can help by singing his praises, then I am grateful for the opportunity to do so.
The violence here in Belize is such a touchy subject because people don't want to detour tourists. The reality, though, is that tourists are pretty safe here, but the gang violence in Belize city coupled with some of the domestic violence and some high profile cases of child molestation resulting in death or serious injury recently are rocking the country. Unfortunately a lot of it results from Belizeans going to the US, getting involved in horrible shit, and then getting deported back here, and bringing that nonsense with them. They just aren't equipped to handle it. I still maintain, though, that all this darkness coming to light is ultimately a good thing because it allows us to see it and heal it. Much love, mama. Thanks for the sweet comment.

That's an incredible story. Heroes are real and they live among us. They don't fly, wear masks or have super powers. Their strength goes beyond that they have a real effect, a positive one, on those living in their community. They are inspiring souls. Thank you for sharing Emmeth's story!

He is so strong and so passionate. He cares so deeply about his culture and all the youth. I feel so blessed to have a friend like him.

Wow, this is an incredible and moving post. Thank you for sharing something like this on steemit, it was a wonderful read--very inspiring for today!

I am so glad you enjoyed it! Emmeth is truly an inspiration and wonderful human.

What an amazing man! It takes real passion to do what he is doing. Thank you for sharing with us.

He has so much passion!! And so much persistence! He just keeps on going no matter the obstacle. Thanks so much for stopping by!
