Finding my genuine voice
I am Jose Arocha. My
home town is Venezuela. My interest is to create new means, tools and
services, so people at home can help each other.
I grew up in a country in crisis. Much of what I saw around was
crisis, communities in misery, vulnerable, excluded from decent life, excluded
from access to decent social and public services, excluded from access to job
opportunities, with little trust in the system and many times in each other. During my life span, poverty has gone from 33% to close to 80% today.
However, there is a reserve of people and institutions doing the work and building a future for the country. I want to join this effort. I also want to contribute to improve our reality into something
more hopeful, promising, positive. I am
dedicated to create new opportunities so people at home can help each other and
increase the social, cultural and economic wealth of our communities.
This is and has been my genuine me.
