And the struggle of living with disabilities will be highlighted tomorrow morning during the Inclusion parade.
It's a parade that Stella Maris has spearheaded for years but this year they seem to have more participation than ever from the general public with multiple Belize City schools including Trinity Methodist, Wesley College and their marching band, All Saints, Palloti, Nazarene, E.P. York, the Police Department, B.D.F., and much more, all marching in solidarity and for inclusion.
Stella Marris teacher Cherie Salgado was bubbling over with excitement to tell us about tomorrow's parade.
Cherie Selgado, Teacher, Stella Marris
"Our disability parade starts at 10 from the Shell gas station by the roundabout, um, and it goes all the way down to the battlefield park. We are so excited because a lot of people will be in a lot of marching bands, and schools will be participating in this event, so we are excited, we are ready for tomorrow and we are asking that the public come out and support our parade."

"How did this parade get so big this year?"
Cherie Selgado, Teacher, Stella Marris
"Mein, I guess inclusion. We are trying to bring awareness to schools, trying to bring awareness to the community, we want them to be a part of these not only students but people living with disability."
Again the parade starts at 10:00 AM at Shell Gas station. The public at large is invited to attend.
