One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I directed Techo.org, a great Latin American non profit that works in slums all over this part of the world. In such a cool job I was able to travel around Latin America many times, meet extraordinary people, learn a lot about poverty and inequalities and build some transitional houses.
