[Applause]

well I want you to close your eyes and

think about the strongest pain that you have

meaning in their life that they have had in their

life can be a physical pain like

it can also be a spiritual value

plus

it’s hard to think about that is not right

difficult because I tell them that to me

touched live

these pains at the same time a pain

very strong physical and I do not want them

tell the pain of the soul

on March 27, 2014

I was attacked with acid sulfuric acid

a substance unknown to many

until that moment including me

I had never heard of acid

I had never seen a burned person

with acid

I was in my mother’s house

when the goal called me to tell me

that an ex-boyfriend had left something

when I came out a man threw me a

liquid that called me 37 percent

of my body including my whole face

that day was reborn from the ashes as the

Phoenix

I have 31 new treatments

the ancients in me has been tested thousands

of new things

thousands of treatments

but they have been very

painful for my family and for my

friends to the people around me and I think

that for a whole country

but I can tell you that I am a woman

Felix and that rebirth

he took me to qatar for today here in front

of you see like that and much stronger

that never

the man who did this to me burned me

physical but I’m not going to take it

heart and my soul I in all this

process that have been three years and six

months exactly tomorrow meets six

months to three years and six months and has

gone through very happy moments not everything

it has been tragedy

I’ve had pretty big achievements

one of those achievements was to create the

foundation ponce de león was

created on April 9 2015 and we created it

to protect defend and promote

human rights of people who have

been burned with chemicals in Colombia

another of my great achievements that we

we present with the foundation a

Bill that today was already

sanctioned on January 6, 2016

the law natalia ponce de león that

increases the penalties to 40 years it

became an autonomous crime and the

person who dares to do this to

someone else will have to pay 30 to

40 years in prison

another of my great achievements was writing

the book

the racing

natalia ponce de león written by marta

soto was quite a catharsis and power

free me many things to sit down to

tell my story marta so that marta

you could write that you are

thinking asking how he has achieved

all this in just three years and six

months

I first at the door of the mind we

they give the power that has the head and

positive thoughts for the

recovery of the person

we have to make use of our

mind if I had not had that door

surely he would not be here and another one

the pillars that took me forward was the

constancy should never do everything

the doctors told me I would like if I

touch me to do 20 daily massages 20 me

says if I had to wear the lycra and the

mask day and night I never did

I stopped forms and as it was for more

painful I never stopped and do what the

doctors recommended doing that always

been constant has never stopped and never

I’m going to stop and this fight to the end

of my days

all my life has been constant thanks to

God

another of the points that took me forward

it is faith but not only faith in God that

do justice

ap in the health of my country but the most

important the faith in myself

I was clear that I wanted to recover

thank you house faith in justice

the man who did this to me today is

Behind bars

I can also say that also

coming from colombia that to change

a law that is the law natalia ponceleón

the person who dares to do this already

a penalty of 40 years

I never lost faith in my health

country colombia

today health has to respond

completely free uninterrupted in

mediate of all treatments to

survivors burned with chemical already

victims who have suffered this

difference before survivor and victim

survivor is the person who already

we left this I am a survivor and

victims are the people who are

I just lost it more

neither does faith in doctors and

treatments

thanks to pepe in them and in these in

science and in medicine

today I have a face to face with which

I was able to go out into the world and feel proud

of the artwork they have made because

you ask me what is my vision

of miracles hypertext pin

thought of miracles

I am a miracle to create fronts

discounting them

history is a miracle but another of the

important pillars of my recovery

it was self love is love that that both

the world is missing today and I

I would recommend you explain love

own as the ability to concentrate

all your positive energy in yourself

it’s possible it ‘s self-love that so much

had and that today I have half a

forgive forgiveness to the person who

he did this and I am free he returns to take out

he smiles again and was again

happy and self-esteem

you have to understand it as a process there

to understand that pain is a way to

The transformation

you have to understand pain as a path

to be better every day

you have to understand that pain too and not

wonder why end to

these hard times we live in us

they teach things every day and they take us to

make a more peaceful life

you have to channel that pain to return

to be happy and I was happy again

because he manages to channel that pain and

understand that pain for something and that something

to come to this life to this mission that

is to become the voice of many

people who were silent

suffering for a long time

if they think again about the pain of

principle I’m sure many of

you have not let go of many of

you continue with that pain there the

pain you have to leave it is necessary to pass

the page that you have to forgive

I really tell them to get that pain

grab the bull by the horns and

assimilate that pain

understand it analyze it and release what

really to have that page because

when we carry so much pain and with

so much hate

we are in a prison and to be free

we must move forward

Many thought that I will not accomplish

it’s not going to stop me from the bed but it

wrong they came out an inner strength

that these four points that I have told you

and I was very clear that I wanted to live not

I wanted to stay like a victim

I managed to go from being a victim to a

victorious person and you have to understand

also the love of the world to me love

the world stopped me the love of my family

the love of my friends love

unconditional

all that energy concentrates around

of the world that I sent I felt the

I felt I stopped and I became strong and it comes out

ahead there are days that clearly I do not

I wanted to stop I did not have the strength

prepare my bed I did not feel like it

nor the mood

but in life we have two ways or you

you remain adjusted the rest your life

prostrate in a bed suffering and

cursing the rest of your life or you

stop and you become a warrior and

Well , take the right path and

prepare and become a person

victorious

I just left them the message of no

postpone that pain really catch it

do not keep postponing for the other

day because pain is a path to

happiness and tranquility

thank you very much

[Applause]
