Kenneth Rafael Esquivel is 24 years old, the middle child in a family of seven brothers. He holds an Associates Degree in Chemistry and Biology from the Corozal Junior College in Corozal Town, Belize, and has worked at the Belize Fisheries Department as an Assistant Fisheries Officer for the past two years. Kenneth’s job entails carrying out surveys and monitoring marine species such as lobster, conch, fish and shrimp. He also interviews “fisher folks” to ensure that they are using good fishing practices, so that the fish stocks stay at healthy margins. In doing so, he helps the Department consider alternative livelihoods, apart from fishing.
Kenneth is also a part of the Public Service Union of Belize (PSU), and an active member of the PSU Youth Arm. The Public Service Union is composed of government employees, and its Youth Arm includes members of the PSU under the age of thirty. The Youth Arm undertakes community service activities, including cleaning highways and painting parks, as well as contributing items to schools. They also do educational outreach programs, including giving talks at schools about HIV/AIDS and other STIs to older students. Kenneth also volunteers with Young People of Belize, in collaboration with the Belize Ministry of Health, where he deals with problems facing men who have sex with men in the country.
