| Recognizing the Hard Work and Dedication of the Mothers at Big Creek Group |
|
| At Big Creek Group, we are proud to have a workforce of strong women who are not only dedicated to their careers but also to their families. Many of our female employees are mothers who start their days with a long list of tasks before even arriving at work. From preparing breakfast for their families to getting their kids ready for school, these women juggle multiple responsibilities with ease. |

| We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our female employees, particularly the mothers who balance the demands of work and home life. We understand the challenges they face in managing their responsibilities, and we are grateful for their commitment to both their families and our company. |

The Big Creek Group's base of operations is located in Independence Village, Stann Creek District. However, the names of these places were not always as they are now. In fact, before Independence Village was known as Mango Creek, it was called Mangrove Creek, due to the abundance of mangrove trees in the area. The locals had a tendency to shorten the name to simply "Mango," which led outsiders to believe that the name of the village was Mango Creek. Later on, when the village was placed on a map, it was mistakenly labeled as Mango Creek, and this is how the name became widespread.
Dangriga Town was initially called Stann Creek Town in honor of the Stann Creek Company, which was a British logging company that operated in the region. The company had a major influence on the development of the town and the surrounding area, and its name was eventually adopted for the river and the district. |

There is a rumor stating that the original name was St. Ann Creek. The saying goes that there was a sign welcoming visitors to the town, which was labeled as "St. Ann Creek Town." Over time, the sign became worn out, and some of the letters faded away. When outsiders tried to read the sign, they did not acknowledge the "Saint" part of the name and instead joined the words and started calling the place Stann Creek Town. While there is no official verification of this rumor, it certainly makes for a compelling story.
It is amazing how simple names of profound places can change over time. These changes can be due to misunderstandings, human error, or the passage of time. Nevertheless, they have a significant impact on how we refer to these places and how they are perceived by others. It helps us appreciate the rich history and culture of the places we call home. Despite the name changes, these places remain a vital part of Belize's cultural and economic landscape. |

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition
In the words of Steve Jobs, "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." This quote reminds us of the importance of trusting ourselves when it comes to making important life decisions. While it can be easy to get caught up in the opinions and expectations of others, we are the ones who truly know what we want and what will make us happy.
Trusting our intuition and pursuing our passions can be scary, but it's the key to living a fulfilling life. Even when faced with challenges and obstacles, we can stay true to ourselves and our vision by staying connected to our intuition and trusting the guidance of our hearts. So, if you're feeling lost or uncertain about your direction in life, take a moment to tune in to your intuition and listen to what your heart is telling you. Remember that everything else is secondary, and the most important thing is to follow your true calling and become the person you were meant to be.

| Big Creek Group is taking steps to improve the health of its employees by promoting a healthier lifestyle. One of the initiatives the company is taking is opening the training center two days a week where medically trained personnel will be stationed and equipped with essential tools such as Glucose Monitor kits, Blood Pressure machines, and scales for regular health checkups.

Additionally, the company has been encouraging employees to take part in a weekly 3-mile walk around the berm. This activity has several benefits, including increasing lung capacity, lowering blood pressure, reducing body fat, and improving blood sugar and cholesterol levels. By providing this opportunity to employees, Big Creek Group is promoting physical activity and encouraging its employees to take an active role in their health.
It's important to note that the company is not limiting its efforts to the workplace only. Employees are also encouraged to take steps to improve their overall health outside of work. This can include things like eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and engaging in physical activity regularly. By promoting healthy habits both in and outside of the workplace, Big Creek Group is taking a holistic approach to employee health and well-being. |
