A Santa Maria teacher is being recognized.

A Search Inside Belize for Missing 8-Year-Old Guatemalan Girl
A team of residents from Benque Viejo Del Carmen and Succotz carried out a search and rescue effort inside the Belize-Guatemala border. The search started this morning after local news outlets in Melchor shared that an eight-year-old girl went missing late Tuesday evening. They reported that the child’s clothing and bicycle were found in some bushes and Guatemalan residents made online appeals for Belizeans living along the border to search for the child.

But registration was completed on January twenty-fifth, so that number is expected to increase. In the 2018 Municipal Elections, there were one hundred and fourteen thousand five hundred and seventy-four registered voters, which put the December 2020 count short of twenty-one thousand seven hundred and thirty-six registered voters. This is a result of the cleaning up of the voters’ list during the re-registration process. In the 2018 municipal el
