These Celebration days were filled with memories and stories of 25 years of shared life, love and abundance, with the Ecuadorian people in a culture marked by beauty, music, colour and dance.

Presentation Sisters were involved in a unique international Ministerial event, which focused specifically on the development and implementation of technology and e-learning in education. It focused on the divides, both within countries and between countries and the strategies, which help to address them.
