QUOTES

Children are the seed for peace or violence in the future, depending on how they are cared for and stimulated. Thus, their family and community environment must be sown to grow a fairer and more fraternal world, a world to serve life and hope.

“When I believe in something that could benefit humanity, I go to the end.”
