“Meeting the CEOs from the network and the team from Teach For All have challenged me to end the status quo of the current educational system in my country. However, to start reforming it, I had rst to shift my thinking and share the common vision of the network about the urgency that kids cannot wait any more to receive an education that will change their future.
I never knew that that a thousand people would say ‘No’ to this idea
or ‘Not now,’ and still, with that challenge, I remained positive,
and never gave up, always keeping in mind that sense of urgency. Finally today, after two years, and several tons of inspirations, we are launching a global vision to change for the better the future of millions of Mexican kids.”
