Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The Cancer Walk from Esperanza to the Cayo Welcome Center will be postponed until next weekend due to weather.

It's Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the San Ignacio Branch of the Belize Cancer Society is raising funds by selling t-shirts.  The shirts are only $20, and they go to a great cause.  You can get them at the BFLA office infront of Sacred Heart Church.  They are having a Cancer Walk on October 26th that will start in Esperanza, and end in Cayo.  Join the Paint Belize Pink campaign.

"$20.00 per T- Shirt. Available for men in white, grey, blue and yellow.  Available for women in purple, blue, pink and yellow.  All of the colors have the same back and front logos.  Order yours now, limited supply."

CELA is having a free animal health clinic in Esperanza this Saturday, June 20th, from 9:00am until noon.  They'll be checking out domestic animals, and will be spaying and neutering also. Thanks, CELA!

"We are staffing two animal health clinics this weekend.  The one in Cayo is in Esperanza at the community center.  The other is in Ladyville at the community center there.  Here's the flyer for Esperanza."

The Cayo Cancer Walk, which was originally scheduled for last Saturday, will take place tomorrow.  They'll start at 5:00am in Esperanza, and walk to Cayo.  SHJC will be participating in the walk; link goes to their event.

"The walk will be at 5 am from the Esperanza Baseball field over the wooden bridge, up past SHC, down to the police station and around the Savannah Street, towards Bullet Tree Road, on to Joseph Andrews Drive and ending at the Macal Park."

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."

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.
