When in 1993, in my vacations, I was invited in Pamplona, Spain, to Rotary meeting, I felt the necessity to belong to an organization of so praiseworthy projects as it is Rotary International, but never had I thought that it would be reality. In Cuba, my country of birth was no Rotary movement from 1961 and I had not thought about emigrating.

Years later I arrived at my new country, Dominican Republic, where friends invited the Rotary Club of Cotuí, they administered an oath in July of year 2000. In September of the 2004, I transferred myself, for reasons of distance, to the Rotary Club Santo Domingo Bella Vista, where work actively as much in the club as in the district. My labor passions extra are the photography and history.

My objective in RGHF is to increase Spanish's use, as much in partners as in documents.

Cuando en 1993, durante mis vacaciones,  fui invitado en Pamplona, España, a una reunión rotaria,  sentí la necesidad de pertenecer a una organización de proyectos tan loables como  es Rotary International, pero nunca  pensé que sería una realidad. En Cuba, mi país de nacimiento, no había movimiento rotario desde 1961 y yo no había pensado en emigrar.  

 

Al cabo de los años llegué a mi nuevo país, República Dominicana, dónde varios amigos me invitaron al Club Rotario de Cotuí, donde fui juramentado en julio de año 2000. En septiembre del 2004  me transferí, por  razones de distancia, al Club Rotario Santo Domingo Bella Vista dónde trabajo activamente tanto en el club como en el distrito. Mi  pasión extra laboral es la fotografía y unida a la historia.

 

Mi objetivo en RGHF es incrementar el uso del español, tanto en socios como en documentos.
