Rained Out

Rained Out

Our first day came quickly to an end when hurricane Ernesto decided to set his sights directly on Belize city. The opening ceremonies began with announcements from Rotarians and Ministry officials alike as well as a slightly off key and perhaps poorly timed version of O Canada by three Edmontonians. The entire cermonies took about 30 minutes and ended with an announcement that the workshops would be cancelled until further notice. The Edmonton facilitators met with the Belizian factilitators for the first time and fortunately found that our plans had a lot in common. We shared workshop documents and discussed plans for the week. We are happy to collaborate with Belizians to come up with some great workshop ideas. We hope Ernesto will give us an opportunity to work further together very soon. We also hope that everyone is able to take advantage of the advanced warnings and keep safe.
