Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Feelgood news of the day.  4 the World is helping to refurb the Calla Creek Community Center.  It was unusable, but soon it'll be nice again, and will be used for many village functions.  Thanks, 4 the World!

"Today 4 the World volunteers from Calla Creek Village along with the Village Chairman Saul Uck and 4 the World's Executive Director Robert Keith Froom started a project to refurbish the village's Community Center...  This project will continue throug the summer. And will provide a place for the school to use durring the day as classrooms by the end of August 2015.  The Community Center will provide shelter to the village during severe storms and will also house the NEMO early warning alarm system that warns the village of dangerous floods. "

The Belize Disaster and Rescue Response Team conducted some leadership training over the weekend.  Just in time for La Ruta Maya this weekend. 

"A training was conducted over the weekend which introduced six participants from NEMO into our unit leadership program.  This will enhance their leadership skills and ensure that they have the necessary skills to conduct and mean a small search and rescue operations."

Feelgood news of the day.  NEMO turned over the 2 houses that were made for the families that lost their houses in November's flash floods.  Thanks, NEMO!

"Mr. Calbert Thompson and Mr. Vigilio Requena Sr. and their families were recipients of homes built by Plett’s Home Builders."

A big thanks to the Belize School of Outdoor Leadership Training and the Belize Disaster and Rescue Response Team for helping out around Cayo during the flooding.  BSOLT performed a search for a missing person due to a canoe capsizing, and BDARRT assisted NEMO - thanks to NEMO too! - with their Belmopan evecuation.  It's people like these that make the world a better place, especially during rough times.  We can't thank you enough for your special efforts to help our community.  Pictured above is BSOLT in the Mopan river during their search efforts.
