the time passed and I grew up
more and more in love with math
and at that time I began to hear this

I chose electrical engineering but the

together these two decisions were

I was able to apply everything in the community

I was able to develop people working

I quickly fell in love with work

in the organization all energy that I tim
was so that it should more and more

I’ll try to show you one
example of how all this was so
intense and transformative for me
in a certain year we decided to do
an easter campaign
we always did this to people

other public that we can also
reach
I remember that arose in the team
questioning thus will it do
We’re going to give you a box of
candy for people who do not have
absolutely nothing to eat
I do not think so, we set up the
kit and we put water juice cookie
fruit and also the box of candy that the

at the delivery location, we noticed that
the number of people was much higher than
the number of teams and now what

then deliver the kits only to the
children and we ask that she
shares this kit with families
At this time I thought people were kids.
they will get a chocolate not to share and
will deliver the rest to the
families and I’m sure it will
happen but in reality the line
At the time we gave the kit, I
I remember one of the children opening the
package
the first thing she said was look
There’s water
I already told this story, his friend.
and every time I tell I
I thrill because you look at a
child who had a box of candy and
a bottle of water and the first thing
that she did and takes the water bottle and
she took it as if it were the last one
thing that exists on earth and
It’s over with me, I’m back home.

in the world that allows me to translate and now
I ask you

I and my team respond to you with
every conviction of us and I
I believe that it is at this moment that the

children in situations of
social vulnerability and we want to
to show them is the reality that
they have today may be different
tomorrow but that does not mean in

much less induced her to seek wealth
What do we want to show her?
It could be that she wants with the profession

transforming the entire community in which

because it is at this moment that people

community begins to be transformed into
