Bailey Scholars Volunteer in Cayo

Bailey Scholars Volunteer in Cayo | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Feelgood news of the day.  Michigan State University students are back in Cayo, and doing some community service work while enjoying their stay.  They are working with Toucan Education Programs, who bring many student groups down to do voluntourism.  Thanks, TEP, and MSU!


"For several years, the Bailey Service Organization, a student organization of the Bailey Scholars Program, offered a service learning trip in San Ignacio, Belize.  This opportunity allowed students to actively engage with members of San Ignacio and work by their side on a variety of projects, largely related to education and social service issues.  BSP would like to expand the experience to a wider audience, including BSP alumni and other BSP community members...  We will be working Toucan Education Programs, a locally owned, private business in San Ignacio, who not only helps plan trip logistics, but helps foster our relationship with the community partners with whom we work."

Toucan Education Program's Belize Course

TEP has a great video out showing all the amazing things they do for their 3 week Belize course.  They do a lot in Cayo, of course.  They tour the Green Iguana Conservation Project.  Xunantunich is on there.  They show the inner workings of the Chilillo Dam too.

 

"The Belize Course was developed and directed by Dr. Jonathan Warner, Economics Tutor at Quest University in British Columbia, Canada.  The course was directed in Belize for a little over three weeks in its entirety.  Students were afforded an opportunity to follow the course theme and or take on mini research projects of their own.  In an effort to give students a deeper understanding of the issues facing the country; the course skillfully combined guest lectures, co-curricular, and extra curricular activities."
