We are a group of professionals in Miami, interested in expanding the impact of quality education provided by Fe y Alegría in Venezuela in order to contribute to the lives of individuals and for the social transformation of the country.
Our mission is to generate alliances and resources to promote the work of the Fe y Alegría social movement to transform with solidarity, justice, and equity the reality of thousands of Venezuelans, through offering quality education.
We believe that it is possible to change lives through education in all its forms.
We want to be agents of change and put our hope into action.
Our commitment is based on three concepts of support:
Floralicia Anzola – Director
Social Communicator with a master’s degree in corporate communication from UCAB and a postgraduate degree in Community Management from the IE Business School/the University of Barcelona, Spain. She is an Ashoka Fellow (Andean Region) and member of the “Dar Learning” platform, entrepreneur, and speaker with more than 40 years of experience in audiovisual production in Venezuela and the United States. In her own words, she is committed to the cause of Fe y Alegría because “I believe in solidarity as a lever for social transformation and the Ubuntu philosophy ‘I am because you are.”
Nelson Ramírez – Director
Social communicator from UCAB with a postgraduate degree in International Business from Thunderbird Arizona. Nelson has more than 20 years of experience of working in the area of software and technology. In his personal time, he has made musical and audiovisual productions, has been nominated three times, and has won an Emmy Award from the SunCoast Chapter of the American Academy of Television Sciences.

He is convinced that a citizen is free only when he receives the education and values that allow him to act as a protagonist in his life.
Promotion. We generate information campaigns in the media and social networks.
