Congratulations to the following current Ocean Academy female students for these 2021-2022 honors and awards.
Daiannie and Sophie, who were appointed to the Belize Children’s Parliament. On November 20, young people from all over Belize were assigned to be the Governor General, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate and parliamentarians. This year’s National Children’s Parliament took place on World Children’s Day to recognize the right of children to have spaces for their voices and opinions to be heard. The future is truly in the hands of our children.
Ayasha and Nythiria, who served as Central American Youth Ambassadors. Youth Ambassadors is a cultural exchange program designed to strengthen the leadership skills of young people from the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States. It builds bonds of friendship and understanding between people of the Americas and is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
Lily, who earned third place honors in the World AIDS Day Poem/Monologue Competition sponsored by the National AIDS Commission.
Kimary, who received the Ocean Academy Ka'ana Award. This award goes to a student who has pulled himself/herself up “against all odds” and is now heading in the direction to “be somebody” despite others not necessarily believing this person could “make it.”
Nythiria, who received the Spirit of Ocean Academy Award. This award goes to a student who truly shows the Spirit of Ocean Academy in word and in deed.
Kabanina, who received the Budding Student Leader Award. This award goes to a student who has taken on leadership roles and shown herself to be a natural leader to her peers.
