The "Fiestas de Guayaquil" celebrate the Foundation of Guayaquil every year on July 25. Across the city, people celebrate in many ways including parades, fireworks and parties. At many high schools, including Colegio Huancavilca where 4 of our scholars study, they also hold festivals with traditional art, music and food. The volunteers and I had the opportunity to go and watch our Scholars in action celebrating their city!
