UB Patriotic Day

UB Patriotic Day | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

September is over, so here's one last album from the September Celebrations.  The University of Belize had their Patriotic Day celebrations, and they recognized some outstanding patriots, and had poetry, song, and dress competitions. 

 

"Two Belizeans were recognised for being outstanding patriots at the University of Belize Annual Patriotic Day held on September 18, at the Jaguar Auditorium, Belmopan.  They are Mrs. Arcadia Carillo, who served Belize for 55 years as a teacher.  The other recipient of this prestigious award was Rowan Garel for inspiring others through his accomplishments towards making Belize a better country for the visually impaired.  Both patriots were presented with plaques by the Deputy Mayor of Belmopan City Council, Mr. Joel Westby."

The Univeristy of Belize had a Patriotic Day last week to celebrate Belize's independence.  They had poetry, a dress competition, and Melonie Gillett was there to sing too.

 

"Every year during the national September festivities, students, faculty and staff eagerly wait to participate in UB’s annual Patriotic Day celebrations to demonstrate their patriotism.  Guest Speaker at this year’s event was Mr. Inez Sanchez, a former Patriot and educator.  'Patriotism has been defined as an undying love for one’s country, and love of country for which one is prepared to die for if need be,' said Mr. Sanchez.  'Nurture love of country in yourself, by yourself and for yourself. That would be true patriotism.'"
