Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

It was a big week for the SISE House of Culture, as they celebrated International Museum Day, and had a new art exhibit start.  They launched the new exhibit, which is triptych art that was made by Sacred Heart College's 2nd form students.  They also had NICH come in on Wednesday, Thusday, and Friday.  Antonio Beardall and Sherry Gibbs gave presentations to local primary schools about the artifacts found under Burns avenue a few years ago.  The exhibit will continue until March 28th.

Today in Belmopan, they had Public Service Information Day, where many different booths from Belizean agencies were set up. 

Here are some from the Institute of Archaeology:

The Institute of Archaeology celebrated International Archaeology Day by having an exhibit at their main office in Belmopan.  They got many great pictures of the event and the primary school students that were able to attend it.  Dr. Jaime Awe, Antonio Beardall, and the rest were there celebrating the event and imparting their knowledge of archaeology.  Daniel Meza, of New Life Presbyterian School in Orange Walk, won the poster competition.  Thanks, IA!

The Benque House of Culture's celebration of International Museum Day was great, and they had a great turnout from the local primary schools.  They launched their new Belizean Heroes and Benefactors exhibit for the occasion.  Antonio Beardall was there from the Institute of Archaeology, and he did a wonderful job of explaining to the students about antiquities, and how we need to preserve the culture and history of Belize.  The Belize Audubon Society was there to give information on their 9 protected areas in Belize, and the National Heritage Library had an interesting display of older books and memorabilia.
