Xel-Ha Blog

For the third year running, Xel-Ha undertakes this house-painting contest for the benefit of Chemuyil, which has, ever since its first edition, been vital in enhancing not only the urban landscape, but the creativity and kinship of the community as well.

The brimming expectations of hundreds of local contestants and members of the press, built up enormously during the last few days, was at last abated with the decision of the jury, constituted by members of Xel-Ha’s Executive Committee and Chemuyil community representatives, this past Monday, December 17th.

The honors of the opening statements were left to Ricardo Saenz Morales, biologist, manager in charge of Sustainable Development at Xel-Ha, who, in mentioning that this program is barely in its third consecutive year, stated his surprise at the renewed and intense interest shown by the local inhabitants, plainly pouring their best efforts and all their talent into painting the façades for their houses. The competition was astonishingly close, making it very difficult for the jury to select its winners.

Following the presentation regarding the enterprises undertaken by Xel-Ha for the benefit of Chemuyil community during the last ten years, and amidst the explosive excitement on behalf of the townspeople, the jury’s decisions were finally announced.

The prizes were awarded by the Delegate of Chemuyil, Mr. Rene Peña Cima and Xel-Ha’s Executive Committee, after which the press and mass media representatives commenced a tour around the community in order to get a glimpse at the winning house fronts. Congratulations to them all! And a very special acknowledgment to every contestant, to all those people who dedicated their efforts and imaginations to embellishing this already lovely community.
