SAN CARLOS SUGAR, SUPPORTING CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS TALENTS!

SAN CARLOS SUGAR, SUPPORTING CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS TALENTS!

The future of underprivileged children and teenagers is in our hands! Thus, it is important to guide and raise them properly, in order to keep them away from dangerous situations. This has been the mission of Centro de Expresión Musical (Musical Expression Academy), one of the programs offered by Fundación Huancavilca (Huancavilca Foundation), an organization established by Azúcar San Carlos alongside other firms.

The Musical Expression Academy started working since 2002 and it has two premises located in the south of the city, Monte Sinaí and Flor de Bastión. It offers its students the possibilities of learning to play several musical instruments, such as violin, viola, cello, double bass, clarinet and so on.

This knowledge of academic music helped students form the Orquesta Sinfónica Infanto Juvenil del Guasmo (Guasmo Youth Symphony Orchestra) with over 30 young musicians. They have performed 200+ times in the country and several times in international music festivals.

“Results speak for themselves, we created up to four generations of musician in this young talent program”, Juan Francisco Villafuerte, director of the Foundation, states.

This year, Stefanía Merchán became the new director of the orchestra at the age of 27. This violinist returns home after finishing her studies in Ukraine, to lead the place that gave her the wings to distinguish herself in music.

It is our great pride and honor to support this magnificent initiative and to see how great talents have been discovered these past 17 years, boosting Guayaquil and Ecuador’s reputation.

WE ARE THE PERFECT MIX; WE ARE PASSION FOR COOKING!

WE ARE THE PERFECT MIX; WE ARE PASSION FOR COOKING!

We are more than sugar; we are passion for cooking! On November 22, students, faculty and authorities of the Escuela Culinaria de las Américas (Culinary School of the Americas) visited our factory. They received a guided tour, strengthening the strategic alliance between the school and Azúcar San Carlos.

During the visit, the school’s management and the future chefs of our country could learn about Ingenio San Carlos several processes. Thus, they could have a complete sense of how sugarcane sowing is transformed into our final products, with a sustainable and eco-efficient process.

We are very thankful with Escuela Culinaria de las Américas for being part of this learning event. We are also proud to continue with this strategic alliance with them, that allows us to support their students’ future by providing them with high quality products.

Sugar is not just sugar, when San Carlos makes it!
