Belize Environmental Talks On Hold

Thanks to the swine flu all our appointments at the local Benque Schools were cancelled. The whole idea about the project is to clean Benque Viejo Town from garbage and waste. We are looking for sponsors of local businesses who like to participate to set up garbage bins all over town. A contest in the schools will decide with which art the bins will be decorated in the end. The lucky one will win a night in the fine “Benque House” for his commitment. Afterwards we will organize groups of volunteers to clean Benque from its garbage.

In the end all of us will profit from this project and Benque Viejo Town will look like the cosy and attractive community it has always been. Educational programs will teach and demonstrate to the public the dangers of living in a contaminated environment.

Come and participate in our project: “Clean Benque / Benque Bonito”

Education In Benque Schools

EduEco.org is taking a hands on approach in the education of children and putting a twist on things. Finding it of vital importance to instill environmental awareness in the core of these young citizens, EduEco has started a program for donating garbage cans to Benque Viejo Town. But here is the twist, these Benque School children get to submit drawings of the different things they want to see on these cans around Benque Belize. After a voting by peers on the “Prettiest Ones”, the winners get to paint the new garbage cans. EduEco is taking a proactive approach in environmental awareness while simultaneously encouraging artistic creativity!

But the program does not end there, Benque House representatives will also be giving educational talks on garbage and its effects on the town and how they can help Benque become Beautiful.

Posted below are the first garbage cans put up around Benque Viejo Belize.
