The celebrations started with seminars on Thursday night about education reform in Bolivia, and the Aparecida Document from General Conference of Bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean. Friday was dedicated to a mass, then sports during the day and a cultural night in the evening.
The cultural night started with the presentation of an award to Ricardo Trigoso, the founder of the department. He gave credit to Sister Damon for her vision, and emphasized the importance of education, especially on the elementary level. That was followed by poetry, music and dancing, especially the traditional dances from Bolivia. Ecotourism did an incredible interpretation of a dance from the Amazon; and each education class presented a different dance: Calcheño (inset), Morenada, Waca Waca and Diablada.
Today is more sports and a dance at 8 p.m. Congrats to Education on their anniversary, and to Sister Damon, Ricardo Trigoso, Eustaquio Menacho and Andrés Pardo, the leaders of this incredible department.
