A group of children belonging to the Hospital Onco Pediátrico del Ecuador (HOPE) project traveled to Galapagos as part of the Avión Solidario program, promoted by the Latam airline. Their relatives, a medical and work team from Solca also traveled.
The intention is that these minors fulfill their dream of visiting the islands and flying for the first time. They are patients in treatment and were winners of an internal contest for artistic talents such as singing, dancing, choreography, crafts and storytelling.
The competition was an activity, held every year in Solca, with the aim of encouraging and discovering the skills and abilities of children and bringing them joy while they are in their treatment process.
The group was made up of 15 people, who complied with all the safety and prevention protocols required by the national and Galapagos authorities, reported the Latam airline.
