Friday all the children who wore uniform to school and shoes got to go to PG and attend the parade. I had to lend Jennifer a pair of flipflops (which they call slippers here in Belize) because she had on a uniform but was bare feet. Many children come to school without uniform or shoes. It is a common problem.
The children and teachers in uniform got to march in the parade around Punta Gorda town. Laguna was the smallest but most enthusiastic school in the parade. We chanted hip hip horray the whole time and “We are Belize, united and proud.”
