I am CARICOM Basketball Marathon

I am CARICOM Basketball Marathon | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Basketball Marathon for CARICOM Week, was held at the SHC auditorium, and had a great turnout.  Congratulations to the Golden Boyz, who won the competition.  Thanks, Caricom Youth Ambassador Program, for making this happen.


"Kudos to the Caricom Youth Ambassadors, Tarun Frances and Kadeem Bennett for a well orchestrated and exciting 'I am CARICOM' basketball marathon.  Great to see 8 teams of male youths from across Belize play in a friendly but challenging game.  Learned about Caricom and the CSME through their trivia questions.  Big up to the Golden Boyz on their win.

When I see people setting up tournaments for a positive effect in the community it really hits home because I want to do the same to reach out to kids and just try to be there for them. One way you can help install discipline and structure in a kid which ultimately helps them succeed in life is through basketball. The Caricom youth ambassadors were generous enough to set up and fund this event. They allowed teams of 7 to come out and enjoy a friendly competitive game with some earning money plus a trophy. That's one way to get teens up out of bed and on the court. So they invited all these kids to play but why? I would like to think its because they want to make a positive  impact on these kids and the community, maybe even challenge others in the position to help, to actually get involved and help
