Galapagos Education #3/3

This blurry photo was taken in the town square the same evening as my visit to the school.  It was a musical and cultural show the school had orchestrated for the townspeople.  While school productions such as this may be universal, I was still struck by something: in none of my work visits from 1998-2003 had I seen such a display of community.  The men who play volleyball in the town square every evening respectfully halted their fiercely contested games, and many took a seat to watch and listen.

And while perhaps universal, this show in such a place had some magic beyond the music and dance steps: it was a sign of progress in the sustainable development of the islands.
