PRESS RELEASE

14 August, 2012 At a recently convened meeting of the National Executive of the Peoples United Party (PUP), the Executive reviewed, discussed and unanimously agreed to support the initiative of the George Price Center for Peace and Development to commemorate the life, work, dedication and service of the late Rt. Hon. George Price by declaring the 19th of September as National Service Day. As proposed by the Center, leaders and members of the PUP will pay tribute to the legacy of the Father of the Nation by carrying out community service projects and delivering his message of making a positive change through hard work and service to the people of Belize, in keeping with the PUP motto Serve the People. In addition to setting aside a day of national service, the PUP has also resolved to press the government to declare the 15th of January a national holiday to mark the birth of a true Belizean patriot, a leader who loved his country unconditionally and above all things, the man who led our nation to independence and dedicated his entire life to the betterment of all Belizeans.

Serve the People!
