give me two concessions
The first news is that in Argentina
we managed to double the number of children
and young people who are inside the
school
the second news is that our country
education is public and free in
all its levels
this means that they would be given
the conditions for any boy
that begins first grade can be
turn professional but let me
tell them side b of these two
Argentine news in twenty
guys who start first grade achieve
finish high school
only half of them and those
days that finish high school
only two understand what they read
this means that they can read a
text turn around and tell another
of these 10 who had high school
three get access to education
superior and these three only one is
turns professional if they were
given the conditions so that the 20
be professionals because you are achieving
only one of them and we have to
ask ourselves why this happens and
we can come to think that they went to
live to singapore to south korea or at
be finland to finish school
secondary because the educational quality
It is already the best in the world or they are
young technological entrepreneurs who
they leave school and are putting together a
deer tuerto valley and we are not
seeing
we’re not losing I think it happens another
thing
in this example do the x
Here I am, I assure you that this boy
he is a genius that what he is doing is
a desperate cry is telling
her teacher her teacher her teacher who
he is bored he is for something else
that is not interested in doing the x that something
is happening
I ask you the first of my conceptions
I’m going to tell you a personal story
this is me I did very badly at school
that carries all the materials all the
years and always May or in June
I was unfailingly on the verge of
expulsion every year
proton third year when I repeated myself
I changed the school a very school
similar and yes again third year 4th
5th and finish school but I finished
standard bearer
imagine the last day of class and
a sitting in the front row crying from
the emotion
I with the flag in my hand thinking what
proud that she was in love with me and
how the act ended down to receive
the kisses the hugs and the praises
constrict Obama looks at me and tells me
what did not you study before
a cachetazo
but at the same time it was like a little
accelerated education because I never
had asked that question and in that
moment I realized that there are a lot
of invisible variables that were
affecting and influencing a project
educational in a life project because
the first school the teachers what
it was really far from you
knowledge carriers that came
they did their thing they fixed if they knew
settle the x and take in the second
school was about voices generated a
link I knew you were interested in
what were you able to talk to others
things and for me that was the great
difference and at school you
repeater bad behavior in the
school voice and at that time
I decided to become a craftsman of the
invisible and work for others
can be overcome and develop their
life projects and in that other
I think and I think that they have more
they need this capital that is the
education are the people who live
below the poverty line because when
a neighbor of the villa 31 decides
to become a lawyer accountant
social worker represents a group
family with a deep vocation for
Upward mobility of social mobility
social and relative vocation in
definitive progress work in the
integrated foundation where we believe that
when a person questions their
future wants to be professional but not
have the other economic partner means
to do it you have to support it in everything
sense
today we accompany 350 young people from
neighborhoods like the cava hides the villa
31 young people who have grown up in
villas
high school has been completed
there young people who are often the
first in your family group in finishing
the school and without doubts of the first
of the whole apple to become
professionals and one finds in each
one of them a deep vocation
maternal in men also because
none comes and tells us I want
study business administration
because I want to be yes or of a
multinational or tell us I want to study
Medicine to win the Nobel Prize
They decide to study to give it a better
present to his family and to give his
children an incredible future full of
opportunities that they did not have and
They know they do not have it easy
they know that there are the villeros outside
with all the social prejudices that
this implies
they know that to get it they have to leave
of the comfort zone because the villa
there is also the comfort zone this
fernando maldonado grew up in the
21-24 villa of barracas
well finished high school and
when he was received he went to talk to the
priest of the caacupé parish and
He said I want to be a journalist
the jury looked serious assured the
response was just as serious if the priest
He told us it will integrate ZANFER
and we ask what you want to study
where do you want to study and why do you want to
study and not once ten times what
we asked five different people to
Little time was I was studying
journalism before receiving the contribution
of the foundation participate
of workshops and activities on life
university and work then the most
important receiving the accompaniment
of a tutor
meanwhile the questions she
coming because the teachers wanted
know how much I knew about the tutor who already
It was as it was December 2015
last final
photo fer is a journalist
in March 2016 the cell phone rings
zaro of the integrated foundation and these
now that they are going to ask me to do
to say the meeting in the office of the
art with president obama
five days later fernando maldonado
defined the village 21-24 was in the
art kitchen sitting among the
only 1,100 young people who
participated in that meeting with the
then president of the states
United barack obama the new map lusa
with you and also take the broke
played at home and we are all
completely gawked then there will be a
half an hour began to ask questions
1 2 3 and at every opportunity to
raise your hand because the journalist and
he wanted to ask a question but in
every opportunity competed against a thousand
five hundred thousand 60 hand can be
raised at two o’clock and made jumps in the
place everyone that is a question
after answering a question about the
conflict between palestine and israel obama
results in a new question felt
that was of the last look for a
side points and the index finger
the president of the united states
points directly to the face of zarra
they wait mic he said and with the
microphone
it was time to put up the
table the value of the questions
uncomfortable that will be located is more
scared that effort
and in that moment that a silence be
shoot a question about donald trump
there was more silence
the translator took care to soften the
ask me are we going to answer any
another thing to do that could do the
roast question was raised because
the hand that journalist does not want
ask a question to the President
united states raised his hand raised
the hand when he finished school
secondary in the village 21-24 of barracas
he raised his hand when he decided
becoming professional raised the
hand when he gave his partials the
endings and the recoveries raised the
hand each time he met with the tutor
to plan the immediate future and the
long term
he raised his hand how he had to recurs
he raised his hand when he stayed
studying instead of going out with their
friends and raised his hand when he
received and returned home with a
obama title was slow to respond
ask why the question was not
easy life to do was also not
easy and your main poverty is not
economic the main poverty of the fa
is of social and cultural capital and its
wealth is to have realized that already
have decided to leave the area of
comfort that represents the villa 21-24
for him and work with his tutor who was
an amplifier of experiences and
work with integrated that represents you
a network of contacts that allowed him
be sitting in the chair that clearly
It was not meant for him the rest
he did fa but nobody wants what he does not
knows the sun or did not arrive
once you know it you can start
to wish it
your aspiration to grows as easy
would think that these problems of
access and quality of education not
they are my problem another problem but
what happens when your neighbor is wrong
educated that happens when the teacher of
your children is badly educated that happens to
Being a neighborhood police officer is wrong
educated is a problem of all the
your family’s community what happens if
our intendants our
rulers our presidents are
poorly educated is a problem of all
so yes yes it’s my problem
I have a concession left and I’m going to use it
Now I find another story
personal
my wife and I both come from
religious families and we are
used to that we know each other
before dinner do a prayer but
a formula that we repeat at the time
where we stop and discuss what we
It makes us happy what worries us
We ask for something and we thank our
oldest daughter guadalupe always participated
from the state but quietly
the damage started he never stopped talking
only in these moments of each house
at every opportunity from the year
good boogaloo pp wants to say something not to
the three years when I had three
years
we are for dinner thank you we ask
something guadeloupe forest say something if i am
woman we said we are about to live something
are going to talk to god good that
does it mean serious
I want to ask to run in balls
us at this time we could
rave because the queen plus the
religiosity for life I imagined to be the
first time he talks to God in front
to his parents the parents laugh at him
face but we do not look with my wife and
we understood where the thing came from
at three years old he was already leaving the
diapers then I would put the
prominent diaper changer dirty what
he was pulling the new one he was not anymore
is running around the house in good and
at the beginning it was a game to be searched
the run found we were returning the
changer a week the game started to
be like a nightmare for me then
I started to repress and face censorship
to the father and fear that never again
play again this found the place
perfect to ask for it and convinced that
was going to be given again he left me a
teaching for life
It is very important to identify what
that you do not want to not only identify them
but also know how to express it and also
expressing how my daughter did but
imagine if Martin Luther King said
I have a dream but I’m ashamed
share what really we
we lost something
my greatest wish is to always leave my
comfort zone and move to me are to
insatiable to share my
riches and associate my purpose with that of
others because many of us are very rich in
social and cultural capital and all
we have these riches that have the
incredible power to transform lives
We all have a purpose
identify them wearing as a flag is
of courageous associates of others
this path is to become an artisan
of the invisible
thank you very much the
[Music]
