Motivational Missionaries Tour @ SIRH | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The San Ignacio Resort Hotel hosted the Motivational Missionaries Tour when they were in Cayo.

 

"'Make it Happen, I am Belize' was the mantra shouted by the students of San Ignacio who attended the finale of the Motivational Missionaries Tour 2013.  The children were motivated and inspired to follow their dreams by using unconventional team building methods, the speaker Bert of the Potentialist’s, called breakthroughs.  These breakthroughs included, bending 3/8 steel with your throat, swallowing fire and walking across broken pieces of glass."

Happy Ash Wednesday

Happy Ash Wednesday | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Benque celebrates Ash Wednesday.  Have a great Ash Wednesday.

 

"Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in the Western Christian calendar.  Occurring 46 days before Easter, it is a moveable fast that can fall as early as February 4 and as late as March 10.  According to the canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke; Jesus spent 40 days fasting in the desert, where he endured temptation by Satan.  Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of this 40-day liturgical period of prayer and fasting.  Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a reminder and celebration of human mortality, and as a sign of mourning and repentance to God.  The ashes used are typically gathered from the burning of the palms from the previous year's Palm Sunday."
