Interpretation

It is like a dream for me, to share with you the idea, the reason behind why I am here: I would like to give back the invitation and would be overjoyed to see the Berliner Bear walking along the Panamanian beach on one of those care-free October days.

The word "Panama" originally means "village with an abundance of fish and butterflies".

Octubrito: The rainy season takes place around October, the rainiest month of the year.

"ProMundi Y Beneficios": Panama's 100 Year Anniversary is coming up. The Panamanian national coat of arms depicts how the Republic of Panama and its canal are treasures from which the whole world can profit.
