Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

UPDATE: Postponed to a later date.

Benque's inauguration of the Edison Riverside Establishment will be next Sunday, the 28th, and they have a celebration planned. Looks nice!

Telenova has a video out from the inauguration of the Cayo Welcome Center.  Orquidea Negra has a good deal of time in the spotlight on the video.

"The residents of San Ignacio & Santa Elena can now enjoy the Cayo Welcome center which has been inaugurated."

The University of Belize's Central Farm campus had a new classroom inaugurated this week.

"The presentation was made by the Deputy Prime Minister at CFC during the inauguration of a newly constructed building that will house classrooms and a Soil and Biology laboratory.  In his Keynote Address entitled: 'Agriculture: the foundation of our diversified economy,' the Deputy Prime Minister said that UB has played an important role in the development of agriculture in Belize; and in this regard, the collaboration between the ministry and UB offers a good template to positively impact development across all districts in Belize."

The SISE House of Culture along with the Belize Audubon Society opened the Balance Exhibit last night in Cayo.  After a short inauguration, the exhibit opened, where guests were given some delicious refreshments and food.  There are some great pictures in the exhibit.  It runs through the month of July.

"Belize Audubon Society launched the Balance photo exhibit at the San Ignacio and Santa Elena House of Culture.  The exhibition features faces and places at Belize Audubon Society.  Come and check it out!!!!  It closes on July 31st, 2012."

Feelgood news of the day.  The Rotary Club of San Ignacio inaugurated the new bathroom facilities at St. Andrews Primary School this morning.  Rotary has been instrumental in building facilities all over Cayo lately, and this is the first of 2 that will be inaugurated this week.  Thursday, they'll inaugurate the new facilities at Eden SDA in Santa Elena.  Thanks, Rotary, for making our children's world a better place!

The SISE Town Council has a video out about the Cayo Welcome Center.  It looks good, and should be having its real inauguration in the next few months.  On February 15th the Strings of Love concert will be happening there.   The video also shows the great word done on Burns avenue, which hopefully will stop having vehicles allowed on it soon.  It ends with the Eden road project in Santa Elena.  

The Institute of Archaeology has quite a few great pictures up from Xunantunich's new ferry inauguration.

"Today history, culture and tourism all came together in the opening of the new ferry.  Tourism stakeholders, NICH, The Institute of Archaeology, BTB, STP and the ferry's engineers all came together for the maiden voyage."

Xunantunich reopens today!  The new ferry inauguration is this morning at 10:am.

The Belize Wildlife Referral Clinic is having their inauguration today.      They've finished their facility in Central Farm, and are officially ready to help save Belize's wildlife.

The Balance Exhibit will be at the SISE HoC through the month of July.  They have pictures from the Belize Audubon Society from all around Belize.  At the inauguration, they had quick introductions, and some good refreshments.  Don't miss it.

"The time has arrived! This Thursday, March 8th, Crystal Paradise Jungle Lodge and Eco-Resort will be hosting the official “ribbon-cutting” event to formally open the Mr. Thomas Green Medicine Trail; surely to become another powerful educational asset in our community.

We will be welcoming a number of traditional healers from Belize, such as Maya Shaman Rosario Panti and renowned midwife, Miss Juana Shish, as they lead a customary prayer and full-moon ceremony, followed by a guided tour of the Medicinal Trail with distinguished bush-doctor, Mr. Polo Romero.

This unique event will be documented by a professional filmmaker and photographer.

We would be elated to have you join our family, friends and honorary guests Thursday morning in Cristo Rey for this special event. Please contact me at jjweston1@gmail.com for further details."
