educators) sow for harvest.
The middle part is inscribed with the Carmelite
motto "FE, TRABAJO, ALEGRÍA" [Faith, Work, Glee]. In the second, lower half, is
featured a rising sun meaning "When the sun rises over the horizon, everything
is flooded with glee: the soil, the plants, the birds, and even man feels the
heat.
