LEADERSHIP ON WHEELS - Rolling for a great reason!!!
Fabio PADILLA (Mr.)

 

Dear jicafriends,

I hope you are OK and your life's plenty of love and inspiration.
This email just to say hello, and share some pictures from my recent visit to Bolivia, 4 cities: La Paz, Cochabamba, Tarija and Santa Cruz in a 2 weeks tour.

10 years later, I was coming back to the city of my accident, this time not for engineering work but to share a motivating message of action and leadership aimed to improve Bolivia's future. Many challenging accessibility problems (specially La Paz has stairs everywhere) but full of energy with my second chance on this city, with “a more meaningful life”, as my Japanese friend OK Keiko San said to me weeks before.

There are lots of problems and needs requiring leadership but also many committed young people eager to learn and very receptive to ideas on Projects and Global Competitiveness message. FUNBOLIDER (the organization that supports my visit) is doing a great job, with a growing network of individuals generating positive change in many important areas: social, political, educational, etc. Business and Social Entrepreneurship was one of the goals of our lectures and training.
For the main lecture we had the presence of Colombian Ambassador and The Honorary Consul of Malta, among other personalities and important participants.

Thanks to the media for helping us in this Leadership and Entrepreneurship promotion campaign ( TV, Newspapers and radio). Below some links (in Spanish):
