For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Today, the National Institute of Culture and History presented beauty queen Jenelli Fraser with the national gift to take to the Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok, Thailand. The “national gift” is a culturally representative gift item that will be donated by each of the contestants participating in the Miss Universe Pageant. The gifts will be auctioned off and the proceeds will be donated to a reputable charity in the host country of Thailand. Fraser was gifted with a handcrafted jewelry set from Kaj Expressions. According to NICH, they reviewed several suggestions for gift items and the jewelry set was selected because it represents a very valuable piece of Belize’s cultural heritage and it was light and easy to transport. The set includes a necklace and a pair of earrings made from the queen conch shell and accented with gold trimmings and lionfish tail. News Five attended the handing over this morning. Here’s how that went:
