He is founder and director of an association called "Esperanza del Futuro", a project that for more than two years has worked in giving a better quality of life to the families in the region of Santa Catarina Nuevo León.

Personal Statement

In the past six years I have learned about the poverty situation in which many families live and, through this project, I have been able to work with them in order to bring a better quality of life to the community with the help of other young people. I consider that this project has had a transcendent impact in the life of several communities where, little by little, the quality of life of many people has been transformed. Therefore I think it is very important letting others know about the project so that it can be valued and be of inspiration to many other young people.
