I have always been associated with institutions that seek social justice and today I call America Solidaria my home. Ever since its founding I have had ties with the organization. Currently I am dedicated to the collective job of making this grand dream of integration and social equality in the Americas a reality. - Why am I with America Solidaria? Places call to us, captivate us and seduce us, together with the people who work there and the causes for which they mobilize. It is in these places where we become fulfilled, where we give our best and spend our lives in search of the truth. America Solidaria is one such place. The joy in service that comes from the unselfish act of giving freely to those who have been excluded has completely taken over me, both internally and externally. This organization makes it possible to create a new culture, to equip communities for a new level of solidarity in the Americas and I am honored to be a part of it. I believe in those who have been marginalized. I believe in the wealth they possess amidst their material poverty. We must let these riches loose so that they themselves can bring about major transformations. That is why we are here!

Since I was young I have always enjoyed participating in volunteer activities, social works and various groups in different places. In the beginning, I was involved in a variety of topics from community kitchens in southern Chile to working as an English professor in Kolkata for 6 months. But little by little I began to focus my social interests in the area of education, to which I am completely dedicated today. If you add to this the fact that I was born to a family of nomads (we moved many times...houses, cities, countries and even languages), you can find the roots that eventually led me to America Solidaria. - It was during a trip through Latin America that I got the call to "collaborate" on the Haiti projects. After having traveled through Central America for 7 months we arrived in a country that defied all standards. "Haiti cherie," a country that has deeply enchanted travelers by challenging pre-conceived notions of how social institutions work and fascinated them with its sharp contrast between material poverty and the wealth of human and natural resources. In Haiti I fell in love with the cause and applied for the position I currently hold (Technical Advisor for Education). This has allowed me to continuously discover and learn about the small differences between each location where our education projects are being implemented. I am ready for any and all new challenges that come my way.
