THE PARTIDA'S - SHOWING WHAT LOVE CAN DO


ARLEY AND PANCHO



A LOVING FAMILY


EHREN, PANCHO AND XAVIER


Xavier on far right sitting

His name is Xavier and two angels on Earth and their son have showed him what love means!

Xavier loves playing soccer and is Ehren's friend. When he told Ehren he would love to play soccer, Ehren asked his mom if it was okay for him to join the team. After asking Xavier's mom if he could join the team, Arley became Soccer mom to Xavier! He would come on practice days to the Partida's and his mom would pick him up after the game. Eventually, Xavier came to live with these loving people who have taken him in and treat him as one of their own.

This just goes to show that Arlene "Arley" and Francisco"Pancho" Partida are down to earth ANGELS in more ways than one. If I had a medal to award for PARENTS EXTRAORDINAIRE it would go to this wonderful, loving couple.



When Xavier received this Certificate of Recognition in May of this year, Arley wrote this...

You have come a long way dude! I am so proud of you not only for this but for the hard work you have put in the past two years you have been with us. You are more confident and more independent and it's all due to you... don't let anyone take it away from you. We will always be there for you. Just keep trying.


Hats off to Arley and Pancho. God Bless You in all your future endeavours. The world needs more caring people like you.

Belize is BEAUTIFUL

UNDER THE SEA IN BELIZE

LIFE IN BELIZE






















San Pedro AC, by Jorge Aldana


A POEM I DEDICATED TO CIARRA ON HER GRADUATION FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!

THE DAY IS HERE
(For my granddaughter, Ciarra Alexandria Thompson)
The Day is now here,
You’re moving on,
High School comes next year,
Like the coming of new dawn.
The years go by so fast,
It seems just yesterday,
We were happy you were here at last,
On that warm August day.
Many “first” have become happy memories,
In each your beautiful smile would beam,
As you captured our hearts like a queen.
Now its time to warn you of what lies ahead,
Of boys with promises, friends with ideas,
Teachers and homework, project and deadlines,
Progress and goals, all yours to achieve.
It’s the stairway you must climb,
If you want to be successful in time.
So, study and learn all that you can,
Make education a part of your plan.
You can be whatever you choose to be,
If you work hard it’s yours to achieve.
So on this your Graduation from Eighth Grade,
I wish you all the best,
The story continues, so be brave,
What follows continues to lead you to success!

THE MOM BEHIND IT ALL - ARLENE PECH PARTIDA



Arlene is a SOCCER MOM, wife and all around Wonder Woman who grew up in Corozal Town, Belize!

I first met Arley when she was one of a trio... that trio included my daughter, Carolyn, and their friend, Marleny. The three were inseparable friends throughout their school years and could be seen riding their bikes all over Corozal on Sundays.

Arley was a bubbly teenager filled with laughter and happiness so it is no wonder that she would grow up to become a member of a family of Sports lovers.

Today Arley Partida is a Referee, Coach, Safety Director, and Division Commisioner of ASYO, the " ALL Volunteer" Non-Profit Youth Soccer Organization. .

She is also the PTA president at her son, Ehren Partida's School and sits on the Board at son, Quillen's High School. 

This past year she formed the first ever Booster Club at son Aiden's school.

Hats off to Arlene and her husband, Pancho, for being so active and for bringing up three fine sons.
