Garifuna Language Program Wraps Up First Year in Southern Schools

The Garifuna Language in Schools program was launched at the beginning of the school year in southern Belize, with eight primary schools participating and reaching over 2,000 students. On Friday, an end of year evaluation of the program was held in Dangriga. Love News spoke with Darius Avila, President of the Battle of the Drums, who emphasized that the initiative is essential to preserving the Garifuna language.

Out of the evaluation it is expected that the steering committee will decide what other methods will be most effective in continuing the teaching of the Garifuna Language.
