Trinidadian-American war veteran and world renowned vocalist Gerard Placide is in Belize spreading a message of hope. He came to our studios yesterday to tell his quite remarkable life story, where he went from the most abject circumstances to becoming an accomplished vocalist and a world renowned motivational speaker. And now he is here to tell Belize that no matter what you are going through , never give up hope.

Placide has traveled across the country and has made several appearances at churches and schools. He leaves on Monday and will return in January.
