Hello this is Jack reporting from the Annual Family Celebration in Quito, Ecuador. People are having a wonderful time.
I am here with Mario Velasco, the event organizer, and I want to ask him a couple of questions:
- Mario: Yes, absolutely. Just look at the people. They are laughing, dancing or just relaxing.
- Mario: Well, it started yesterday at 7 am and it will finish tomorrow at 9 pm with a concert.
- Reporter: Is this event meaningful for Ecuadorian families?
- Reporter: Thank Mario for your time and for the event.
- Reporter: Mario, how long is the event?
