Carnaval at INESAD, 2013

Carnaval month at INESAD started with Dia de Compadres (31 January 2013). Thankful for the great Women’s Day organized by the guys at INESAD last year, the girls decided they had to do something special for the guys, so they organized a surprise party with teambuilding games and more.
