"The Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA Belize) has touched the lives of over 400 rural women and youth from various cultures through the Expanding Economic Opportunities through Entrepreneurship and Market Development Project (YWCA EEOEM Project).  To honor this accomplishment during Women’s Month, the YWCA CULTURAL EXPERIENCE is a month-long cultural celebration of YWCA Belize women and youth that showcases the culture of each represented district through food, music, dance, drama, arts & crafts, and other cultural presentations."

The YWCA is having a cultural fair Tuesday, March 11th, starting at 10:00am, at the Cancha Marshalleck, which has yet another new spelling for this flier.  It'll focus on the Mayan and Mestizo cultures, and there will be cultural presentations, arts and crafts, food and drinks. 

"The Belize YWCA is mandated to empower women and youth to lead change and has assumed that responsibility of reaching far and near to empower all in order to promote change, March 11 is a date designated to be a Maya Mestizo Day at the Marshall Eck Cancha, come visit the booths and let us all enjoy, learn and take advantage from this unique experience at our town."
