Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The National Tsing Hua University Belize Educational Service Group was in Cayo doing community service projects for 6 weeks this Summer.  While here, they visited 11 local schools to meet with their principals, and help out with various projects.  They come to Belize every year, and stress the importance of education, and they continually find ways to use computers to increase education in the local schools. They donated computers, laptops, and projectors to the 11 schools.

This year, they also awarded 4 scholarships to local students so they could go to high school.  The ceremony was carried out at Sacred Heart College's auditorium.  The Taiwanese Ambassador, Benjamin Ho, was instrumental in this year's activities, and gave a wonderful speech on community service.  Thank you, NTHU, for all you have done in Cayo over the years.  See you next year.
