Graduation - a first step in young lives
January 20, 2009, was Graduation Day at the school. It is tradition in Ecuador to have a graduation ceremony for children in kindergarten. Proud students celebrated the traditional event in grand style with a ceremony at the Hostel Baloo in Canoa.
Wearing a cap and gown, each student signed the graduation book and then received their diploma, followed by food prepared by parents and staff of the Baloo.
These 20 students and their families mirror the enthusiasm the community has for its new school. We hope you will recognize and share the passion for education these children and their parents exhibit.
