Belize is a country on the northeastern coast of Central America. It is the only country in the area that has English as its official language. Belize is bordered on the north by Mexico, to the south and west by Guatemala, and to the east by the Caribbean Sea. Its mainland is about 290 km (180 mi) long and 110 km (68 mi) wide. With 22,800 square kilometres (8,800 sq mi) of land and a population of only 334,297 (2013 est.), Belize has the lowest population density in Central America. Belize's abundance of terrestrial and marine species and its diversity of ecosystems give it a key place in the globally significant Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. Our Mission is to protect the floral biodiversity of Belize by existing as an information resource for the community through identification, outreach & science through the University of Belize. Our green houses are also a place of beauty for all visitors to enjoy. We also aim to cultivate, promote, research and enable the research of tropical flora and its conservation with an emphasis on our native species and their habitats. The Orchid or "Orchidaceae" is a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and often fragrant, commonly known as the orchid family.

Thanks to all those member who showed up yesterday to assist in the much needed cleaning of the outside of the Orchid Nursery. There is a lot more needed to be done to have our nursery looking nice and presentable. I would want to acknowledge Lennox for volunteering his time and hard work to cut the weeds for us, especially under the hot sun it was surely and admirable effort on his part.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any free time to volunteer in making the aesthetics of the nursery much better.and I will be glad to go along with you .

Dear University of Belize Orchid Society

I take this opportunity to join Kenneth in welcoming you all to another promising and productive academic year. This semester I am want to see the Society creating new opportunities for our students and members of our Belizean community.

It is my sincere desire to keep supporting you all. Please make sure that you invite me to your meetings and I will make the effort to attend. I want to make sure that we continue to provide learning opportunities to our local elementary schools especially. Our partners are waiting to support us.

The orchids of Belize are a natural treasure that continues to be threatened, and we stand to loose them if we do not make the effort to learn and teach about them.

I am proud of all your work thus far, and I am waiting to see more happening this semester. Congratulations and keep up the hard work.

Sincerely

Pio Saqui
