three young people brutally assaulted a
lady outside the pharmacy
April 15 six minors assault with
weapons a supermarket the counts could
continue to know what they all have in common
these cases
all are made by minors
who spend hours on the street today
I want to tell you about entrepreneurship
take advantage of the thanks also for the
invitation an endeavor a
foundation that has to do with this
What I tell you has to do with
street has to do with crime
and it has to do with children and also
I want to tell you how this is born
entrepreneurship because life is
surprising and sometimes things happen that do not
we counted things happen that makes us a
little lose control and change the
look of our way
that happened to me on September 27
the year 2009
that day my brother Federico two years
less than I had an accident on horseback
and he died that day for me it was brutal and
I changed the look of my life a little
if they had asked that 27 of
September even a while later
like this new look
I think I would have told you about grief and
rage of pain of much pain
Federico was 33 years old he was married and
had two children a year and a half and
three months and he was a great person with a
very strong social sense and very
athlete
for me his death went well so far
they did not have that time 35 years work
a school as a counselor is
waiting for my third child and the truth that
everything is well ordered for me
until that day
I also want to tell you a little bit and
day about how sometimes life
it changes how it awakens them, not like
makes us realize that this way is
short that makes sense and that you have to
to live with everything over time I started to
feel like changing this pain for
something that day by day for something that was
powerful for something that to transfer to
the death penalty and that person come to love
and with my husband the idea was forged
to create a foundation
we wanted to have those two big
passions that he had was for
side the social assistance and on the other side the
sport and that’s how this desire was born
at first I did not know very well very well
how to do it but we did have two
clear things that for my taste are very
important
when undertaking that it was on the one hand a
clear objective with which when which
we are absolutely committed and
want to do a social project and that
transcend and on the other hand this
responding to a sense of life very
strong and it was on the one hand faith and also
the people who had helped him and who
they were the image of all these people
that we felt we could
get to help
we wanted to make a foundation that
will bring sport to the sectors
vulnerable and that’s how they come to us in the
street time we were joined by two
great partners who accompany us up
the present day
and we wanted to beat the
street we wanted to be an alternative
better for these children most
young people from vulnerable sectors
when they leave school they arrive at their
houses and in these there is nobody and what
they do they go to the street most
much have single-parent families
others well with grandfather
what do I know they are working now
and therefore they go to the street and in the
street there are great attractions as they are
the drug alcohol and crime
in Chile we have alarming figures
we have 11.7 percent poor
that more than 20% of children consume
underage drug use and more than
60 percent alcohol
82% our country does not accept physical and
sports we have obesity rates and
sedentary lifestyle of the largest
world and we already know all how the
crime grows every day more
the ventures in chile are not
easy social ventures
they are even more difficult
with telling him to make a foundation
be eligible for public financing
requires having at least two years
when we left we had many obstacles
it cost us a lot that they will help us
people believed in our project that
will help us with financing but
we were clear that the difference between
success and failure is the
perseverance
we knew that to undertake the
fundamental variables was to be
persevering I think everything
entrepreneurship that has perseverance
is successful and we went
tremendously persevering with time
I remember that we started going to
ask municipalities to help
payless meetings many times not
he received we had no idea that
let’s say and when we finally got it
I received it arrived and was the
assistant deputy mayor who
obviously there was our story the
against very nice but not that they do
nothing and it was very frustrating but we continue
because we knew there was something
important that we had to follow and
over time we have come to change him
life to many people
two years ago they called us from sename
to tell us about Juan a boy who
I had problems with theft and
very strong crime
Juan lived in a very family
dysfunctional had very absent parents
a brother with delay and there is so
progress in restorative programs of
Name me the truth that they do not achieve
change his attitude we did not take care of
at the beginning inviting it to our
sports workshops showing him that
is here I had an alternative that
besides also do better
he could have a good time it could be more
happy
we did a very strong job with his
family
we also involve their teachers and
today Juan plays in the lower
of the football sports club changed its
attitude raised his note
nowadays it comes out in several videos of the
foundation telling how the sport
changed the way and the truth that for
we are proud of him because
we know that thanks to this program that
it was even the entrance to the program
talents that we have the foundation where
we give young people opportunities
that have the potential to level in
the physical theme and also with
food supplement thing they are to
the height of any young person in a club
sports
I must also give the opportunity to
young people to leave the circle of the
extreme poverty
thanks to agreements we have made with
sports club that can even be
in charge of it so that it enters the
higher education
even universities have sinned us
our students in technical careers
sports what we do sports we know
the benefits that the sport
sport is health the opportunity sport
it is self-esteem and respect we know the
achievements that a child can have
work in sports as well as
educates in teamwork and those who
they have undertaken they also know that for
that any enterprise is successful
It also needs a variable that
it was for my taste it is very important that
is the creative being on how to solve
the problems many times are going to be
most problems the pressure to
problem so that those who have
undertaken they know that one of the great
and because of the importance
arrest is to get out of these problems
and we think we had one thing
well creative in one of the problems
that I had at the beginning that was that
they need
cancha the truth that to make our
workshops we need to have multicacha and
we did not have how to lease them much
less build it
then we approach the
municipalities because the majority
municipality many times earn funds
to build multicacha and what happens
over time these multi-fields are
unused
you always see the movies that come in
the junkies in glass bottles
broken and is multi-court finish
being more delinquent ground than
sportsman I not only told him we tell him
the municipality make agreements
we become burdened with his
multicacha and we give them life thing that
besides the municipality you see
that there is movement that people are
doing strong
you make sure that your multicacha the
they are taking care they are giving way and
we have a place to do
our workshops and that has been the
let’s win it the street that is very
simple actually but it was the great
solution for us and for the
municipality and that today has us
very happy also with time we have
come to involve the family
I want to tell you the story of a mother
Lo Barnechea that moves me them
a mom of 7 said she raised them
alone
they live in a very poor place in a house
around the river at the top and in
barnechea
her eldest son worked in the
street juggling in a red light
and in a settling of accounts they killed him
second son takes two years in the
jail prisoner for delinquency and the
rest he said
every afternoon they get to do sports with
we can not tell you what
It excites when it already tells us if you
they had arrived before here I am sure
that my son would be alive and would not have
one prisoner
she knows the opportunity that they are
having your boy children who did not have
the minors who passed on the street
where they learned how she says
offender
we want to worry about these
child and how to break that circle and that
so many young people live so many children
because nobody gives them opportunities like
achieve
the people who ask for more jail because in
truth we live constantly
that one says please more jail more
recent penitentiary that is made
justice but who cares about
these children when they are boys
when we can reverse a life and do
that this child is not delinquent today
the story of mario lepe
it’s exciting when he tells how
sport was his lifeline
in the case of the Catholic university what
he took when he was little in mind that
he lived in a very poor place with a
alcoholic father people today like the
most of his friend grew up in that
same circle to him the sport
dosal voice and the truth that to measure the
success of these social ventures
it’s not easy because the successes do not
they are a function of profits
economic and in the construction of
sports centers that we have nor the
sports achievements of our children
the successes for us is in
how many children we can take
street and you change their lives the
most beautiful things that has happened to me
in this work is to realize how
we can strengthen the
individuality of each one is a
child identity we win the
street we have a stamp that is very
marked and that is not only our but
that for us is fundamental and that
is to worry about each of these
Children know that only one that is different
and that you can achieve what you want to do
in his life as a child I had a boy what
you take and tell him I think you are
someone big I think you can
achieve what you propose in your day
if you’re with him when he falls it’s the
child grows knowing that he can achieve
big things
he knows that in his life there is someone who
trust him and the model that we
we have to give the stamp to the street
that we seek our
teachers
we have quality teachers
that we have nothing to envy
no sports club but what more
we look for these teachers is that they are
able to take these children and
show him that they have an alternative
different because we trust
in it that the truth has been as well
exciting our acts
disinterested are all expansive
acts that we make our life
they have an effect on other people
although we often do not see them
or we believe that it does not matter everything
we get to other people
which in turn pass them to another person and
we can change generations a grandmother
that decides to be happy that if it ‘s the
independent will have happy daughters and
independent and will have granddaughters
happy and independent
a young man who decides to stop the drugs that
decide to leave an addiction is going to have
family that will reverberate because no
only your circle is going to have family going
to have children will have grandchildren who do not
they will have an idea what their
lifetime
I know they would have lived with this person
with this addiction
so I think of the fascinating ones that
have for us to work with children
is that we can change his life from
that are boy not only him at his
family to their children tomorrow their
couple to all people who have
to see if they have a question no no
I want that I raised the hand either
or anything and they can not like it but not
is my idea to bother you have you had any
time the opportunity to help someone
disinterestedly of being in a cause
that for you I did not have a benefit
but only to help someone
that they did not even know
if the answer is yes I imagine that already
they know the happiness that you feel when
one sees in the eyes of someone who
look with today’s face I achieved something
that I would never have succeeded in having you
said
if the answer I do not want to give a data
they are missing one of the big
things that have surprising stay
that the against the principle that is seen in
someone’s face an extreme happiness
and you are losing having a faith
huge happiness because I think it ‘s
much more
happiness that one has that the one that can
have the rest our acts impact
much beyond the person who
we are helping our acts can
change generations we can not
that
let’s dare to change the history of
someone and dare to have that
big day experience to conclude me
like to tell him that life is short
that we do not know what can happen
tomorrow but we do know what we can
do today we can not do everything
either but if we can do something and the
I want to invite daring to do that
dares to do something
I think that in the end that is to undertake
make your dreams come true
there are no recipes for that the truth that at
final I think the recipe better is to hear
your heart that takes you to fulfill your
dream
that dream and the dreams are for
meet them and the obstacles are for
beat him
thank you very much
[Applause]
