1. SHARE WITH US YOUR BACKGROUND, YOUR ROOTS.
I’m a mother of 6, wife and a native of Caracas, Venezuela. I was lucky enough to grow up in a free Venezuela, with many possibilities; a time when emigrating was not in anyone’s mind. I graduated as a lawyer from the Andrés Bello Catholic University and I practiced my career working for an oil company, paradoxically; PDVSA, the Venezuelan oil company. I’m now 50 years old and have been living in Florida for the past 26 years. Currently I am managing VoLo Foundation.
2. WHO OR WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR INSPIRA- TION FOR STARTING THIS ORGANIZATION?
First and foremost my kids, a growing concern for the future of our children, whom are always present regardless of their age. When we established VoLo, the expectation was to help those in need; in terms of health and education, but after analyzing the scientific data related to climate we realized that the greatest threat to the well-being of future generations is the climate crisis.
