Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The Belize Cancer Society is having their 1st annual Father's Day Gala at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel this Saturday.  The Jade Band will be playing at the event. 

"Support a worthy cause and enjoy yourself at the same time.  Purchase your tickets with any of our committee member, visit the Belize Family Life Association of San Ignacio or you can call 628-3392 or 804-4511."

The Belize Cancer Society worked with SHJC students to get the word out at the SHJC Marketing Expo.

"The Belize Cancer Society - San Ignacio Branch extends a sincere and hearty congratulations to the students of SHJC for all the effort they placed in promoting health and cancer education during their Expo held on April 30th 2014. Our Branch is very much looking forward to receiving all the information and material created by the students in order for us to promote it and use it in our educational campaigns.  May is a month set aside for education and awareness and we look forward to showcasing this excellent material on our Face Book page on a daily basis."

The San Ignacio Branch of the Belize Cancer Society has teamed up with the San Ignacio Community Hospital to wipe out cervical cancer, and they are going around Cayo to do pap tests.  They'll be in San Antonio tomorrow, Bullet Tree on Wednesday, March 19th, and Georgeville on Friday, March 21st.  Thanks, BCS!

The Belize Cancer Society has a San Ignacio Branch that's been opened since March, 2013.  It's located at the BFLA office on Church street.  Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, they are having their 'Paint Belize Pink' campaign to increase awareness.  They are also having a Cancer Walk from Esperanza to San Ignacio on the morning of the 26th.

The Belize Cancer Society's annual Cancer Walk is happening tomorrow morning.  It will start at Camalote, and end at the DFC in Belmopan..

Feelgood news of the day.  The Combat Team awarded orange belts to many of their students.  They departed Belize yesterday, but after visiting many schools around Cayo(BCS), and having an exhibition at the GPC, they left an inspiration of God and an understanding of karate in their wake.  Godspeed, and thank you, Combat Team!  

"All the kids tested for their belts last night and our instructor.  The kids were so excited to received their Orange Advanced belts!  Great things are happening at our Belize Karate School!"

The San Ignacio branch of the Belize Cancer Society paid a visit to Sacred Heart Junior College to educate them about cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

SHJC will be a big participator in the Cancer Walk that will start in Esperanza at 5:00am this Saturday.

"Thank you to Dr. Marvin Manzanero for taking time out to join us in educating the students of Sacred Heart Junior College (SHJC) about cervical cancer, prostate cancer and healthy sexual practices.  It was indeed a very informative and pleasant afternoon spent in the company of young adults.  At the end of the session the president of SHJC student council presented our branch with a cash donation from a fund raiser they had conducted on our behalf.  Thank You SHJC for your support towards the Belize Cancer Society - San Ignacio Branch."
