Guayaquil EN - Premios Verdes

This is where it all began, back in 2013. Guayaquil was there to support us when we dared to dream big and grow beyond borders. We stopped by Colombia in 2021 and we finally arrived in Miami in 2022, with the purpose of finding, connecting and amplifying changemakers from all over the world. Now, 10 years later, our heart still beats in Guayaquil, but our purpose needs to embrace the entire planet.

Thank you Guayaquil, for being home, inspiration and drive.Thank you for helping us to be the most important movement of unstoppable people in the world today.
