Dear Parents/Guardian/Participants & Friends:
Spotlight Taiwan 2017 Taiwan Culture Exchange Program is hosting Make A Wish Water-Lantern Night & Closing Ceremony on 7th November, 2017 at Ramada Princess Swimming Pool from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
The program is sponsored by Ministry of Culture of The Republic of China (Taiwan) through the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to Belize, Atlantic Bank and Ramada Princess Hotel; and partnership with Belize Department of Youth Services, NICH, Museum of Belize, Samuel Haynes Institute of Excellence, St. John’s College and University of Belize.
In the past four months we have offered many workshops and activities like showing Taiwanese film, group discussion of similarities between both Belizean and Taiwanese culture in regards of Zhongyuan Festival, teaching the Taiwanese culture and Mandarin language. Youths also learnt Chinese Calligraphy, which they used in the making of traditional water lantern.
We made over two hundred and fifty (250) water lanterns with wishes and prayers written on them, which is a common way for Taiwanese to make wishes and pray for good things to come to our country. All the water lanterns will be released into the Ramada Swimming Pool on the Water Lantern Night by 150 regional, 100 international youths, Governor-General, Sir Colville Norbert Young and Ambassador Charles K.Y. Liu. We would be honor if you would be able to attend our event and make wishes for our country.
We will prepare a Water Lantern for you to releasing into the pool.
If you are interested in attending this event, please remember to get your Pass Card from SJC Mandarin Club President or leave us a massage.(Must enter with Pass Card)
See you there ~~~
