GARIFUNA SETTELEMENT DAY 2013

ON NOVEMBER 19 EACH YEAR THE COUNTRY OF BELIZE CELEBRATES THE ARRIVAL OF THE GARIGANU PEOPLE TO THE SOILS OF BELIZE. WHILE THEY WERE SEEKING A PLACE AWAY FROM ALL THE HORRORS THEY WERE LIVING THEY PADDLED THEIR CANOES AND ARRIVED ON THE SHORES OF BELIZE AND MADE IT THEIR HOME. BELIZE GAINED A LOT FROM THIS VERY INDUSTRIOUS PEOPLE WHO BECAME EXCELLENT TEACHERS AND CRAFTSMEN. HATS OFF TO THE GARIFUNA PEOPLE. WITHOUT YOU BELIZE WOULD NOT BE AS COLOURFUL NOR AS BLESSED AS IT IT. HAPPY GARIFUNA SETTLEMENT DAY, EVERYONE. WITH LOVE, BRENDA
