SISE's Cayo Scoop!

The Belize Natural Energy Charitable Trust  had their inaguration celebration earlier this month at the Belmopan Comprehensive High School.  BNE built a brand new classroom building to alleviate BCHS’ overcrowding.  They’ve done many projects in Cayo over the last year, including one at Sacred Heart Primary and Santa Elena Primary schools.  Thank you, BNE Charitable Trust!

The National Barrel Horse Association of Belize had another successful event this weekend.  There are some good pictures in there.

There will be a town meeting with the MoE tomorrow night at CET.

The Belize Zoo made it on the top 10 list for best zoos in the world!  Of course it did, it has only local animals that have been rescued or rehabilitated, and they are kept in their natural habitiat.  The Tropical Education Center got mentioned too.  

“‘The Best Little Zoo in the World’ was founded nearly 30 years ago to provide sanctuary for wild animals used in a documentary about tropical forests.  Today the zoo, located 29 miles west of Belize City, exhibits more than 150 animals native to Belize.  A major draw is the represented five wildcat species found in the Central American country: jaguar, puma, ocelot, margay and jacuarundi.  The Problem Jaguar Rehabilitation Program is just one of the zoo’s initiatives that help to promote conservation and awareness, and to protect Belize’s natural resources.”

Barton Creek Cave, and Barton Creek Outpost get good reviews in this article.  

“Just some metres away there is a cave (Barton Creek Cave), which you can visit by kayak and check out 8km of passages.  It is known both: as a touristic destination but also as a archaeological site.  In cave there were found remains of at least 28 humans and many pottery shards, which makes scientist believe there was a life already at the beginning of 1st century.  The strong evidence exist already in the first kilometre of kayaking, where on the left ledge one can see human bones and skulls.  In the dark as hell cave, between stalactites and flying bats, it makes a strong impression.”

Congratulations to Ashanti Airbender!  She’ll be representing Cayo at the National Festival of Arts.  Read about her successful audition for the NFoA.  

“For the first time, I was judged professionally by three judges at the Bliss Center for the Performing Arts during my first audition to get into a prestigious show called the National Festival of Arts, which showcases the best in Belizean art and creativity!  I was fortunate to get a long warm-up opportunity before I performed, which really prepared my body for some of the most difficult flexibility feats I am currently able to do.”

This is a great essay on becoming an Eco Kid.  There is still a week left to submit entries.  Chaa Creek’s site has all the information on submitting.

“Being an eco-kid would give me the opportunity to learn more about nature and to be able to share that knowledge with my classmates, my brothers and sister and my other friends.  This year, I would like to be a Chaa Creek Eco-Kid to learn more about how I can make a difference in this beautiful country called Belize.  I wonder… what exactly would await me at Chaa Creek?  I’d sure like to find out!!  I hope to be there this summer!”
