Staring at the last pages of the 2009 Calendar, many are the successful events shared by this Greater Caribbean Magazine with our readers.
The Afro Cultural Festival was a landmark where the display of different manifestations by outstanding artists from different Central American, Panamanian and Caribbean.
Historical events such as TRANSAT the French sailing contest from Europe to Port Limon in November, placed this city in the world map when more than 13 ships after 3 weeks of treacherous weather conditions, including hurricane season, made it to the finish line and were received warmly and affectionately by the people of Limon. Without a doubt, millions of French have a first hand knowledge of Limon, its cultural heritage and natural beauties. UNED, the Distance Learning University has been one of LIMON ROOTS’ most faithful supporters since its beginning, and continues to do so while a new Dean was recently elected. UNED has also expanded its curriculum by introducing a new program related to topics on the seaport sector.
On the other hand, Limon University College celebrates it’ X Anniversary with an ample sample of new programs such as city government staff professional training and building adequate space to develop a Caribbean Art and Music Conservatory where approximately 500 children and young people are taught music, dance, theater, and rhythmic gymnastics. In fact we are initiating a full year of projects, dreams to pursue, multicultural challenges to share and to support, new and stronger bonds to fortify and establish in the Greater Caribbean, to give a sound to voices to break the silence of groups and under-developed communities and to respond to the interest of our readers.
We’re grateful for your continuous support manifested through all means and that we continue to work together to make this world a better one for our children.
