Education


​Viva Panama Organization, Inc. is a corporation established in 1991 and incorporated in 2012, completely dedicated to preserve, present, and promote the different manifestations of the culture of Panama, through its music, dance, traditions, literature, paintings, arts & crafts, cuisine, etc. The property of this corporation is irrevocably dedicated to educational purposes. Because of this, many of VPO events and projects are planned to fulfill this purpose.

All these years, VPO has be present in different cultural programs at different level in the educational field of California (See chart below).  We have participated in the educational and cultural exposure of students of:
