Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The Belmopan International Women's Group is having their yearly fundraiser tomorrow night at the George Price Centre.  The theme is 'White Havana Nights,' and they'll be serving traditional Cuban food, and will have Carlos Perrote playing for the event.  As always, they'll have a silent auction and many door prizes. 

"The Belmopan International Women's Group strive to make a positive difference in Belmopan and neighboring villages, extending as far as San Ignacio and including institutions such as the Dangriga Cancer Center.  Once a year they hold a major fundraiser, a themed night filled with music, food, dancing and of course, wonderful company!  Please join us and help play a part in making a difference in lives of your neighbor!"

Feelgood news of the day.  St. Michael's Primary School got a new standard 6 building.  Thanks, BIWG, and all the other volunteers!

"This is a beautiful story that shows what we can do when we work together!  The need for a new classroom brought together the women of the BIWG, Enrique (Kiko) Escalante of Vision Builders, Joe Mena of Wood Stop, the teachers and the parents of the Standard Six students of St. Michael's Primary School in Las Flores, Belmopan.  Cash donations to purchase the lumber, free labour to construct the classroom that has a beautiful finish, parents, students and teachers working together on the weekends and mothers who prepared food for the working crew - a great formula for success!  And so today, BIWG formally handed over this new classroom to the boys and girls of Std. VI and to Principal Mrs. Sanchez and Teacher Carl Cardinez.  These students were very happy to be out of cramped quarters and especially happy that they were the first class to occupy this room!"
