Guardians of the Estuary from the Emiliano Figueroa Elementary School in Piñones
The school semester is ending, and we’ve been wrapping up our educational projects for the 2015-16 school year. Last May 16th, our AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers led a special closing event for the Guardians of the Estuary from the Emiliano Figueroa School, in the community of Piñones. The activity included folkloric dance performances by the students, the screening of a retrospective video put together by volunteer Zenaida Vázquez, and the reading of a short story written by volunteer and historian Laura Horta; which included a re-enactment of the battle between English invaders and Spanish soldiers that took place in the area in 1797. The Guardians of the Estuary have been an integral part of our AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers’ work in the community of Piñones towards environment-based economic growth.
