E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

Feelgood news of the day.  Chaa Creek visited Sacred Heart Primary School to teach them about the Blue Morpho butterfly.  It's all part of their 'Butterfly on the Road' educational program.  Thanks, Chaa Creek.

"As part of our commitment at The Lodge at Chaa Creek is to work with our local communities in building awareness and educating our local people on conservation and preservation of our natural environment.  And in that respect, as part of our community outreach program, today saw our 'Butterfly on the Road' Program when two of our Naturalist Guides packed up their equipment and visited the Sacred Heart Primary School in San Ignacio Town.  A total of 110 local students in the infant division had the opportunity to learn more about one of the most magnificent butterflies in Belize, the 'Blue Morpho' or the Morpho Peleides, and butterflies in general, along with the significant roles that butterflies play in our eco-system."

Feelgood news of the day.  Michigan State University students are back in Cayo, and doing some community service work while enjoying their stay.  They are working with Toucan Education Programs, who bring many student groups down to do voluntourism.  Thanks, TEP, and MSU!

"For several years, the Bailey Service Organization, a student organization of the Bailey Scholars Program, offered a service learning trip in San Ignacio, Belize.  This opportunity allowed students to actively engage with members of San Ignacio and work by their side on a variety of projects, largely related to education and social service issues.  BSP would like to expand the experience to a wider audience, including BSP alumni and other BSP community members...  We will be working Toucan Education Programs, a locally owned, private business in San Ignacio, who not only helps plan trip logistics, but helps foster our relationship with the community partners with whom we work."
