very year, this media house holds the AL DÍA Top Nurses event to highlight women and men who stand out in this important work for society. It means recognizing the effort, talent, innovation and contribution to health.

Among them, there are those who have many years of experience and others who are beginning to stand out in the midst of their youth. One of the names that stand out is Wanda Nolasco, with more than 30 years of experience in nursing. She is Vice President of Patient Services at The Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard.

On the other side of the experience is David Álvarez-Sánchez, student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. He is a Research Coordinator for the COVID Testing, Resources, and Community Engagement (TRACE) project.

Wanda and David were chosen, respectively, as Lifetime Achievement Award and Undergraduate Student Leader Award winners. Wanda Nolasco is from eastern Puerto Rico, where she studied Nursing at Pontificia Universidad Católica.

She then studied Psychiatric and Mental Health before moving into research. In 2002 she came to Philadelphia through what was then called North Philadelphia Health System (NPHS).

On the other hand, David Álvarez-Sánchez, who is just beginning his journey in nursing, is looking to complete his degree and get licensed to become a registered nurse. He has the conviction to “serve the community and work to help the people there”.

In this edition, in Culture, you will find a report about a Colombian Caribbean town. Mompox keeps in its architecture and streets a history of centuries since the Spanish colony. It is the epicenter of a wide cultural agenda and expressions that show mixing as part of its tradition.

Mompox is located on the Magdalena River, which flows into the Caribbean Sea. About 300 kilometers away is Cartagena de Indias. It is one of the towns that welcomes more tourists every year in Colombia. It was founded on May 3rd, 1537, but long ago it was the cradle of indigenous people.

Entre ellas y ellos hay quienes tienen muchos años de experiencia y otros que empiezan a destacarse en medio de la juventud que les caracteriza.

Entre los nombres que sobresalen está Wanda Nolasco, con más de 30 años de experiencia en la enfermería. Es vicepresidenta de servicios al paciente en The Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard.

En la otra orilla de la experiencia está David Álvarez-Sánchez, estudiante de la Escuela de Enfermería de la Universidad de Pensilvania. Es coordinador de investigación del proyecto COVID Testing, Resources, and Community Engagement (TRACE ).

Wanda y David fueron escogidos, respectivamente, como ganadores del Premio a la Trayectoria y del Premio al Líder Estudiantil de Grado. Wanda Nolasco es del este de Puerto Rico. Allí estudió enfermería en la Pontificia Universidad Católica. Estudió enfermería psiquiátrica y salud mental y luego se dedicó a la investigación. En 2002 llegó a Filadelfia a través del que entonces se llamaba Sistema de Salud del Norte de Filadelfia (NPHS).

Por su parte, David Álvarez-Sánchez, quien está empezando su trasegar en la enfermería, busca completar su licenciatura y obtener la licencia para convertirse en enfermero diplomado. Tiene la convicción de “servir a la comunidad y trabajar para ayudar a la gente que está en la comunidad”.

LA BELLEZA DE MOMPOX

En esta edición, en Cultura, encontrará un reportaje sobre un pueblo del Caribe colombiano.

Mompox guarda en su arquitectura y en sus calles una historia de siglos desde la Colonia española. Es epicentro de una amplia agenda cultural y de expresiones que muestran el mestizaje como parte de su tradición.

Mompox está localizado sobre el río Magdalena, que desemboca en el mar Caribe. A unos 300 kilómetros está Cartagena de Indias. Es uno de los pueblos que más turistas acoge cada año en Colombia. Fue fundado el 3 de mayo de 1537, pero de tiempo atrás fue la cuna de pueblos indígenas.

A MULTITUDE OF FUNDRAISERS

RECAUDO DE FONDOS

t has been about two weeks since the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, claimed the lives of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.

As the hours, days, weeks — and eventually months — pass, the communities in Uvalde will be faced with picking up the pieces.

Since the tragic mass shooting occurred, a number of efforts have taken place to help support those affected.

There are a number of verified fundraisers on GoFundMe to help the families of the shooting victim, as well as for funeral expenses.

The array of crowdfunding efforts range from close family members of the victims, to broader ones providing support to the largest Uvalde community.

The May 24th mass shooting rocked not only Uvalde, or the Texas region, but the nation.

This was shown through additional GoFundMe campaigns launching in Los Altos, California; Wilmington, North Carolina; Amity Gardens, Pennsylvania; Cherry Hill, New Jersey; Los Angeles, California; and more.

Locally, nonprofit organization and Austin FC support group Los Verdes, launched a GoFundMe fundraising campaign to support the families affected by the shooting.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this event, and we are actively working with the city council members of Uvalde on making sure these donations go directly to those families,” the campaign description read. “In these challenging times, we will mourn with those affected, and as a group, we will also take action and lend support to all those involved!”

an pasado unas dos semanas desde que el tiroteo masivo en Uvalde, Texas, cobró la vida de 19 niños y 2 profesores en la Escuela Primaria Robb.

A medida que pasen las horas, los días, las semanas —y eventualmente los meses—, para las comunidades de Uvalde no habrá más que recoger los pedazos.

Desde que se produjo el trágico tiroteo masivo, se ha llevado a cabo una serie de acciones para ayudar a los afectados.

Hay una serie de entidades recaudadoras de fondos verificadas en GoFundMe para ayudar a las familias de las víctimas, así como para cubrir los gastos funerarios.

Los esfuerzos de crowdfunding involucran desde familiares cercanos de las víctimas hasta aquellos que proporcionan apoyo a la comunidad más grande de Uvalde.

El tiroteo masivo del 24 de mayo conmocionó no solo a Uvalde, o a la región de Texas, sino a la nación. Esto se demostró a través de otras campañas de GoFundMe lanzadas en Los Altos (California), Wilmington (Carolina del Norte), Amity Gardens (Pensilvania), Cherry Hill (Nueva Jersey) y Los Ángeles (California), entre otras.

A escala local, la organización sin fines de lucro y el grupo de apoyo del Austin FC, Los Verdes, lanzaron una campaña de recaudación de fondos en GoFundMe para apoyar a las familias afectadas. “Nuestros pensamientos y oraciones están con todos los afectados por este evento, y estamos trabajando activamente con los miembros del consejo de la ciudad de Uvalde para asegurarnos de que todas las donaciones vayan directamente a las familias afectadas”, decía la descripción de la campaña.

“En estos tiempos difíciles, lloraremos con los afectados y, como grupo, también tomaremos medidas y prestaremos apoyo a todos los implicados”.

Gracias a la campaña, al 4 de junio se han recolectado más de 268.000 dólares.

In fact, many of the undocumented 2022 graduates have not been in the U.S. long enough to receive benefits from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The Obama-era policy was the focus of multiple attacks and litigation during the Trump administration.

De hecho, muchos de los indocumentados graduados en 2022 no han vivido en Estados Unidos el tiempo suficiente para recibir los beneficios del programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en inglés), pues la política de la era Obama fue foco de múltiples ataques y litigios durante la administración Trump.

Establecido en 2012, DACA dio ventajas a los dreamers menores de edad que llegaron al

ENGLISH arrived before 2007 cannot even sign on to the program right now.

As this issue continues, there will only be more and more undocumented students graduating from high school with little opportunities to shape their lives as they truly desire.

According to data from FWD.us, a tech-industry linked immigration advocacy group, there are more than 600,000 undocumented students enrolled in K-12 schools in the U.S. and of that large number, only about 21,000 are enrolled in the program and potentially eligible for renewals.

According to a recent study by FWD. us, around 43,000 Dreamers graduating from high school this year live in 28 of the states that don’t provide in-state tuition for undocumented students.

This means that nearly 50,000 future professionals will be barred from working legally and will only be able to attend school if they can pay for the classes in full at state schools.

A FARAWAY FUTURE… FADING

Karen Nuñez Sifuentes, program and engagement coordinator at ConVivir Colorado, a leadership program for immigrant students, told The Hill that she was left out of the DACA program as she arrived in the states after 2007.

“Graduating from high school as an undocumented student was extremely daunting and heartbreaking. I was accept-

Según datos de la FWD.us, un grupo de apoyo a la inmigración vinculado a la industria tecnológica, hay más de 600.000 estudiantes indocumentados matriculados en escuelas K-12 en Estados Unidos. De esa cifra, solo unos 21.000 están inscritos en el programa y son potencialmente elegibles para renovaciones.

De acuerdo con un estudio reciente de la FWD.us, alrededor de 43.000 dreamers que se gradúan de la escuela secundaria este año viven en 28 de los estados que no proporcionan la matrícula estatal para los estudiantes indocumentados. Esto significa que casi 50.000 futuros profesionales no podrán trabajar legalmente y solo podrán asistir a la escuela si pagan las clases en su totalidad en las instituciones estatales.

Karen Núñez Sifuentes, coordinadora de programas y participación en ConVivir Colorado, un programa de liderazgo para estudiantes inmigrantes, dijo a The Hill que ella quedó fuera del programa DACA al llegar a Estados Unidos después de 2007. “Graduarse de la escuela secundaria como estudiante indocumentada fue extremadamente desalentador y desgarrador.

ENGLISH

n Tuesday, May 31, Girl Scouts of the USA posthumously awarded one of its highest honors to Amerie Jo Garza, the brave fourth grader who died trying to dial 911 during the Uvalde school shooting.

The national organization, which serves 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults, awarded Garza with the Bronze Cross, which is given to a Girl Scout who saves or attempts to save a life at the risk of her own life.

“On May 24, 2022, Amerie did all she could to save the lives of her classmates and teachers. It was our honor as Amerie’s council to present the Bronze Cross to her family,” Girl Scouts of the USA said in a statement.

A HEROIC CALL

The 10-year-old Garza was killed when she attempted to use her phone to call for help for herself and her classmates. The gunman, Salvador Ramos, shot her before she could complete the call.

Garza’s grandmother, Berlinda Irene Arreola told the Daily Beast that instead of just breaking the phone or taking it from her, the gunman shot her.

“She was sitting right next to her best friend. Her best friend was covered in her blood,” she said.

Garza’s stepfather, a medical aide who was responding to the shooting, found out about his stepdaughter’s death when Garza’s best friend told him whose blood she was covered in.

About an hour and a half before Ramos entered the school and killed Garza, 18 of her classmates and her two teachers, the proud Girl Scout was celebrating making the honor roll at a ceremony with her parents.

l 31 de mayo, Girl Scouts of the USA otorgó póstumamente uno de sus más altos honores a Amerie Jo Garza, la valiente estudiante de cuarto grado que murió tratando de llamar al 911 durante el tiroteo en la escuela Uvalde.

La organización nacional, que atiende a 1,7 millones de niñas y a 750.000 adultos, otorgó a Amerie la Cruz de Bronce, que se entrega a una Girl Scout que salva o intenta salvar una vida a riesgo de la suya.

“El 24 de mayo de 2022, Amerie hizo todo lo que pudo para salvar la vida de sus compañeros y la de sus maestros. Fue un honor para nosotros como consejo de Amerie presentar la Cruz de Bronce a su familia”, dijo Girl Scouts of the USA en un comunicado.

UNA LLAMADA HEROICA

Amerie Garza, de 10 años, fue asesinada cuando intentó utilizar su teléfono para pedir ayuda para ella y sus compañeros. El pistolero, Salvador Ramos, le disparó antes de que pudiera completar la llamada.

La abuela de Amerie, Berlinda Irene Arreola, dijo al Daily Beast que, en lugar de romper el teléfono o quitárselo, el pistolero le disparó. “Estaba sentada justo al lado de su mejor amiga… Su mejor amiga estaba cubierta con su sangre”, dijo.

El padrastro de Amerie, Ángel Garza, asistente médico que acudió al tiroteo, se enteró de la muerte de su hijastra cuando la mejor amiga de ella le dijo de quién era la sangre que la cubría.

Aproximadamente una hora y media antes de que Ramos entrara en la escuela y matara a Amerie, a 18 de sus compañeros y a sus dos profesores, la orgullosa girl scout estaba celebrando con sus padres su grado de honor.

POLÍTICA ENGLISH Just two weeks before she was killed, Garza celebrated her 10th birthday. One week before, she completed her Girl Scout bridging ceremony, a beloved tradition that honors girls’ achievements throughout the year and symbolizes them “crossing the bridge” to the next level.

Garza was the first victim of the Uvalde mass shooting, which is now the second worst in the nation’s history.

The Girl Scouts paid tribute to the brave 10-year-old at her funeral services on Tuesday with a Presentation of Colors.

“We will carry her story with us always and ensure her brave actions will

endure for generations,” the organization said.

STANDING UP FOR WHAT’S RIGHT

Relatives at the ceremony and representatives from Girl Scouts of the USA are commemorating her as a “sweet, sassy, and funny” girl who loved Play-Doh, playing with friends at recess and being a Girl Scout.

Garza’s call to 911 was not her first time standing up to those around her.

On Monday, May 30, David Treviño told the Texas Tribune that his 11-yearold had faced bullying at Robb Elementary, and Garza stuck up for her.

ESPAÑOL Justo dos semanas antes de ser asesinada, Amerie celebraba su décimo cumpleaños. Una semana antes, había completado su ceremonia de puente de Girl Scouts, una querida tradición que honra los logros de las niñas a lo largo del año y simboliza que “cruzan el puente” hacia el siguiente nivel.

Ella fue la primera víctima del tiroteo masivo de Uvalde, el segundo más grave de la historia del país.

Las Girl Scouts rindieron homenaje a la valiente niña en sus servicios funerarios, el martes, con una Presentación de Colores. “Llevaremos su historia siempre con nosotras y nos aseguraremos de que sus valientes acciones perduren durante generaciones”, dijo la organización.

DEFENDIENDO LO QUE ES CORRECTO

Los familiares presentes en la ceremonia y los representantes de Girl Scouts of the USA la recuerdan como una niña “dulce, atrevida y divertida”, a quien le encantaba la plastilina, jugar con sus amigos en el recreo y ser una girl scout.

La llamada de Amerie al 911 no fue la primera vez que se enfrentó a quienes la rodeaban. El lunes 30 de mayo, David Treviño dijo al Texas Tribune que su hija de 11 años se había enfrentado a la intimidación en la Escuela Primaria Robb, y que Amerie la había defendido. “[Mi hija] lo está tomando muy mal.

hen we think about the nursing profession, a lot may go into that thought.

However, what can be agreed upon is the significant value nurses have in each of our individual and collective health.

Each year during the AL DÍA Top Nurses event, there is a mission of shining a light on the diverse men and women who serve in the trenches of nursing institutions.

Promoting the exemplary contributions nurses make to their essential fields is paramount.

Take Wanda Nolasco, for example.

She is currently the vice president of patient services, and regulatory and compliance safety officer at The Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard.

With more than 20 years with the institution, and over 30 as a nurse professional in the field, she has been among those at the frontlines to address a mul-

From her career as a critical nurse, professor in nursing and research coordinator in Puerto Rico to various leadership positions with The Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard in Philadelphia, Nolasco has excelled in a variety of roles.

Now take David Álvarez-Sánchez.

Currently, a rising junior nursing student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, he, too, has begun establishing himself as a leader in his own right.

As the co-founder of a Hispanic organization at his former high school and research coordinator for the COVID TRACE (Testing, Resources, and Community Engagement) Project, Alvarez-Sanchez has shown an ability to make a positive impact despite his young age.

While both are in very different stages of their lives and careers, they share the same desire to help others.

It’s why they were selected as the Lifetime Achievement and Undergrad Stu-

uando pensamos en la profesión de enfermería, diversos significados vienen a la mente, pero hay un factor común: el valor de las enfermeras y los enfermeros en la salud individual y colectiva.

Cada año, AL DÍA Top Nurses tiene la misión de destacar a hombres y mujeres que sirven en las trincheras de las instituciones de enfermería, pues es primordial promocionar la ejemplar contribución que, desde sus diferentes campos, hacen a la sociedad.

Un ejemplo es Wanda Nolasco, actual vicepresidenta de Servicios al Paciente y responsable de la seguridad normativa y de cumplimiento en el Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard.

Con más de veinte años en la institución y más de treinta como profesional de la enfermería, ha estado en la primera línea de quienes abordan una multitud de crisis y de problemas relacionados con la salud a lo largo de su carrera.

Desde su labor como enfermera de cuidados críticos, profesora de enfermería y

coordinadora de investigación en Puerto Rico, hasta varios puestos de liderazgo en el Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard, en Filadelfia, Nolasco se ha destacado en una gran variedad de funciones.

Otro ejemplo es David Álvarez-Sánchez, estudiante de enfermería de primer año en la Escuela de Enfermería de la University of Pennsylvania, quien ha comenzado a establecerse como líder por derecho propio.

Como cofundador de una organización hispana en su antiguo instituto y coordinador de investigación del proyecto COVID Testing, Resources, and Community Engagement (TRACE), Álvarez-Sánchez ha demostrado su capacidad para tener un impacto positivo, a pesar de su corta edad.

Aunque ambos se encuentran en etapas muy diferentes de sus vidas y carreras, Nolasco y Álvarez-Sánchez comparten el mismo deseo de ayudar a los demás. Por eso han sido seleccionados como ganadores del Premio a la Trayectoria y del Premio al Líder Estudiantil de Grado, res-

A LIFELONG PASSION

UNA PASIÓN DE TODA LA VIDA

Compassion and service are two elements that Wanda Nolasco has always lived her life by. Born and raised on the east side of Puerto Rico, those two elements were staples.

When asked how she developed those qualities, she said it came from her family.

“We all, one way or another…were always there for everybody,” she said.

In Nolasco’s case, it helped guide her educational journey and later her career.

“I realized that I wanted to help people,” she said.

That realization led Nolasco to attend Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, where she studied to become a nurse.

It was her belief that nursing would be the best way to combine her compassion and desire for service in a way that would be beneficial to communities.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing, Nolasco originally went to a critical care and ER unit. However, she soon realized that nursing services go far beyond ERs and ICUs. When her mother began experiencing mental health challenges, Nolasco decided to return to school at Pontifical Catholic University and study psychiatric nursing and mental health.

From there, she brought what she learned to another hospital in Puerto Rico, and helped build a new program there.

She later went into research, which later became the catalyst for her coming to the United States.

In 2001, the formerly named North Philadelphia Health System (NPHS) went to Puerto Rico on a recruitment effort.

“I went, by chance, to do the interview and they recruited me,” said Nolasco.

From 2002, Nolasco has become among the most familiar faces in the Hispanic nursing community at what has since rebranded as The Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard.

“I grew up as a leader with the North Philadelphia Health System,” said Nolas-

La compasión y el servicio son dos elementos por los cuales Wanda Nolasco siempre ha vivido. Nacida y criada en el este de Puerto Rico, los ha considerado esenciales.

Cuando se le preguntó cómo había desarrollado esas cualidades, dijo que provenían de su familia: “Todos, de una manera u otra, siempre estábamos ahí para todos”, respondió. Esa herencia le ayudaría a guiar su trayectoria educativa y, más tarde, su carrera: “Me di cuenta de que quería ayudar a la gente”.

Ese descubrimiento llevó a Nolasco a asistir a la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico, donde estudió Enfermería, pues estaba convencida de que dicha carrera sería la mejor manera de combinar su compasión y su deseo de servicio de forma que beneficiara a las comunidades.

Tras licenciarse, Nolasco trabajó en una unidad de cuidados críticos y de urgencias, pero pronto se dio cuenta de que los servicios de enfermería iban mucho más allá de las salas de urgencias y de las UCI. Así, cuando su madre empezó a tener problemas de salud mental, decidió volver a la escuela en la Pontificia Universidad Católica y estudiar Enfermería Psiquiátrica y Salud Mental.

Desde allí, llevó las enseñanzas a otro hospital de Puerto Rico, donde ayudó a crear un nuevo programa. Su posterior dedicación a la investigación sería el catalizador de su venida a Estados Unidos.

2022 NURSES ENGLISH co, adding that her time there is what increased her interest into the business and administration side of the field.

This is what led her to complete her master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in health services from DeVry University.

Throughout her 20 years with The Behavioral Wellness Center, Nolasco has seen a lot and faced many challenges.

The most recent years have been among the most challenging, she noted.

In 2016, the organization went into bankruptcy. Over the years, a lot went into navigating filing for bankruptcy.

According to Nolasco, that’s what helped the organization rebuild itself with a more clear focus on drug, alcohol and behavioral services.

“We decided to rebrand ourselves, doing a service to the community to what is now one of the biggest pandemics other than COVID — the opioid pandemic,” said Nolasco.

The Behavioral Wellness Center uses innovation to provide treatment services for individuals with substance use and mental health challenges.

During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization was able to adapt and transition some of its existing units into COVID units, and provide additional services to those who need it.

When asked about the most fulfilling aspect of the nursing field and the work she does, Nolasco kept it simple — waking up and seeing that she is able to help at least one person.

ESPAÑOL En 2001, el antes llamado Sistema de Salud del Norte de Filadelfia (NPHS) fue a Puerto Rico en un esfuerzo de reclutamiento. “Fui, por casualidad, a hacer la entrevista y me reclutaron”, recordó Nolasco.

Desde 2002, ella se ha convertido en uno de los rostros más conocidos de la comunidad hispana de enfermería, en lo que desde entonces se ha rebautizado como Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard.

“Crecí como líder en el Sistema de Salud del Norte de Filadelfia”, señaló. Además, indicó que su tiempo allí fue lo que aumentó su interés por los negocios y la administración en ese campo. Fue lo que la llevó a completar su Maestría en Administración de Empresas con énfasis en servicios de salud de la DeVry University.

A lo largo de sus 20 años en el Behavioral Wellness Center, Nolasco ha visto muchas cosas y se ha enfrentado a diversos retos.

Los años más recientes han sido de los más difíciles, aseguró. En 2016, la organización se declaró en quiebra, y las gestiones para declararse en bancarrota han sido innumerables. Sin embargo, según Nolasco, eso fue lo que ayudó a la organización a reconstruirse con un enfoque más claro en los servicios de drogas, alcohol y comportamiento.

“Decidimos cambiar de marca, prestando un servicio a la comunidad ante lo que ahora es una de las mayores pandemias, aparte de la COVID-19: la pandemia de los opioides”, manifestó.

El Behavioral Wellness Center utiliza la innovación para ofrecer servicios de tratamiento a personas con problemas de consumo de sustancias y salud mental.

Durante el inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19, la organización fue capaz de adaptar y transformar algunas de sus unidades existentes en unidades para la enfermedad y proporcionar servicios adicionales a aquellos que lo necesitaban.

Cuando se le preguntó cuál era el aspecto más satisfactorio del campo de la enfermería y del trabajo que realiza, No-

2022 NURSES ENGLISH “Just to see somebody get better, or get an admission to be taken off the streets, or go home… that is my fulfillment,” she said.

While shocked and surprised when she first learned of the honor of being the AL DÍA Top Nurses’ Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, it’s also been an opportunity to reflect on her journey and impact.

“Honestly, it made me realize that what I do everyday has a meaning,” said Nolasco. “It’s really joyful to see that some people see me that way. I don’t even realize. I do it because I love it.”

A LEADER IN THE MAKING

David Álvarez-Sánchez is very early in his journey, but already has big plans for his own future as a nursing professional.

Currently a nursing student at UPenn, Álvarez-Sánchez knew what career he wanted to pursue in the eighth grade.

“I was fortunate to have a Career Day… and we had police officers and firefighters and a bunch of different [professions], but then we had a nurse practitioner come in, she was a psychiatric nurse practitioner who worked at a mental health facility, and I remember being like, ‘Wow, I’ve heard of a nurse, but I’ve never heard of a nurse practitioner,’” said Álvarez-Sánchez.

Her in-depth explanations and details about her work was very impressive to Álvarez-Sánchez, and served as a catalyst for his career choice.

“I’ve always said, my calling is to help people and I know you can do that in a bunch of different careers, but especially after doing my first clinical rotation this past semester in the spring. I just loved patient interaction and just being able to see and help people in their most vulnerable positions and just serve as a support system that not everyone gets to have in other ways,” he added.

When asked about his goals, both his short and long term goals are clear.

In the short-term, his goals are to complete his undergraduate degree and earn his licensure to become a registered nurse.

“Long-term, I really see myself hopefully being able to work in a variety of communities either through my clinical rotations or just once I’m a registered nurse,” said Álvarez-Sánchez.

He also hopes to pursue higher eduJUNE 8 - 15, 2022

cation opportunities after earning his bachelor’s.

To Álvarez-Sánchez, diversity is extremely important in Penn’s nursing program and within the field of nursing.

As a Latinx individual and male aspiring nurse, he represents two underrepresented groups in the field.

“I think that no matter where you work, you’re always going to come across patients who have different backgrounds, have different beliefs, different upbringings,” he said. “And being able to understand you might not necessarily relate, but trying to really put yourself in the person’s shoes… is really important.”

“If you have diverse nurses who understand, or might be able to relate a little bit more to the patient population, it makes it a lot easier for them to provide care that’s really tailored to their experiences and the issues that they face,” he added.

During the 2022 AL DÍA Top Nurses event, Álvarez-Sánchez will be awarded the Undergrad Student Emerging Leader Award.

When asked how he defines a leader, Álvarez-Sánchez said, “I would say that it’s someone who’s always willing to grow and always willing to learn,” he said.

To him, those are important qualities.

“I also believe really strongly in the idea of your community, and the people that support you being able to help you become a leader, because without the people that support you, you’re not really a leader… if you’re just by yourself, there’s no one to lead. And that is something that I think a lot of people tend to forget,” he added.

While he will be receiving an individual honor, in his mind, his leadership is more impactful if others can advance further, particularly as a peer advisor within Penn’s School of Nursing.

“It’s really important to me to be able to let them know about the resources that exist out there… I think a lot of times as a minority, you might not be exposed to these resources or to different opportunities, and so I think just being able to serve the community and work to help the people that are in the community…

I just want to be able to let others know about the things that are out there.”

“It’s great that I got the award, but I think it’s really important to just see how we can further everyone else, as well, and be able to see how everyone can get their foot in the door,” he added.

ESPAÑOL lasco lo dejó claro: despertarse y ver que es capaz de ayudar al menos a una persona.

“El simple hecho de ver a alguien mejorar, o conseguir un ingreso para salir de la calle, o volver a casa... eso es lo que me llena”, dijo.

Aunque se sorprendió cuando se enteró del honor de ser la ganadora del Premio a la Trayectoria de las Enfermeras de AL DÍA, Nolasco reconoció que fue una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre su trayectoria y su impacto: “Sinceramente, me hizo darme cuenta de que lo que hago cada día tiene un significado. Me da mucha alegría ver que algunas personas me ven así. Ni siquiera me doy cuenta, lo hago porque me encanta”.

UN LÍDER EN DESARROLLO

Por su parte, David Álvarez-Sánchez es muy joven, pero ya tiene grandes planes para su propio futuro como profesional de la enfermería.

Estudiante de enfermería en la UPenn, Álvarez-Sánchez supo en octavo grado cuál carrera quería seguir. “Tuve la suerte de tener un Día de las Profesiones, tuvimos contacto con oficiales de policía y bomberos, y un montón de diferentes [profesiones], pero luego con una enfermera especializada en psiquiatría que trabajaba en un centro de salud mental. Recuerdo que dije ‘Wow, he oído hablar de una enfermera, pero nunca he oído hablar de una enfermera especializada’”, señaló.

Sus profundas explicaciones y detalles sobre su trabajo impresionaron mucho a Álvarez-Sánchez y sirvieron de catalizador para su elección de carrera.

“Siempre he dicho que mi vocación es ayudar a la gente y sé que se puede hacer en un montón de carreras diferentes.

Pero después de hacer mi primera rotación clínica, el semestre pasado, en la primavera, quedé fascinado con la interacción con los pacientes, con la posibilidad de ver y ayudar a las personas en sus situaciones más vulnerables, y con el poder de servir como un sistema de apoyo al que no todo el mundo tiene acceso de otra manera”, añadió.

A la pregunta por sus objetivos, los tiene claros, tanto a corto como a largo plazo.

A corto plazo son completar su licenciatura y obtener su licencia para convertirse en un enfermero diplomado. “A largo plazo, me veo realmente capaz de trabajar en una variedad de comunidades, sea a tra-

vés de mis rotaciones clínicas o ya como enfermero registrado”, dijo. También espera poder cursar estudios superiores después de obtener su licenciatura.

Para Álvarez-Sánchez, la diversidad es extremadamente importante en el programa de enfermería de UPenn y dentro del campo de la enfermería.

Como individuo latino y aspirante a enfermero, representa dos grupos subrepresentados en el campo: “Creo que, independientemente del lugar en el que trabajes, siempre te vas a encontrar con pacientes de diferentes orígenes, creencias y educación, por lo que ser capaz de ponerse en el lugar de aquellos, aun cuando no exista una relación, es realmente importante”.

“Si tienes enfermeras diversas que entienden, o pueden relacionarse un poco más con la población de pacientes, es mucho más fácil para ellos proporcionar atención que realmente se adapte a sus experiencias y a los problemas que enfrentan”, agregó.

Durante el evento AL DÍA Top Nurses de 2022, Álvarez-Sánchez recibirá el Premio al Líder Estudiantil de Grado.

En cuanto a lo que es un líder, Álvarez-Sánchez respondió que “es alguien que siempre está dispuesto a crecer y a aprender. También creo firmemente en la idea de que tu comunidad y las personas que te apoyan pueden ayudarte a convertirte en un líder porque sin las personas que te apoyan, no eres realmente un líder. Si estás solo, no hay nadie a quien dirigir, y eso es algo que creo que mucha gente tiende a olvidar”.

Aunque recibirá un honor individual, en su mente su liderazgo tiene más impacto si otros pueden avanzar más, particularmente como consejero de pares dentro de la Escuela de Enfermería de Penn. “Es realmente importante para mí poder darles a conocer los recursos que existen ahí afuera. Creo que muchas veces, como minoría, no tienes acceso a esos recursos o a diferentes oportunidades, y de ahí nace mi interés por servir a la comunidad y trabajar para ayudar a la gente que está en la comunidad. Solo quiero poder dar a conocer a otros las oportunidades que existen”.

Concluyó que “es estupendo que me hayan concedido el premio, pero creo que es muy importante ver cómo podemos ayudar a los demás y cómo todos logran abrirse paso”.

THE LABYRINTH OF INTEGRATION

Last June 3rd, Carol Proner and Pablo Gentili’s analysis of the Summit of the Americas was published. “Accepting the conditions imposed by the U.S. will mean an inexplicable step backwards when, beyond their difficulties, progressive and leftist Governments are multiplying in Latin America”, they say. Further on, they pointed out that “Democrats and Republicans have almost always agreed that any link with people living in the south of the Rio Bravo must be established according to the exclusive interests, demands, needs and whims of the U.S. Government. [...] Persistent in making mistakes when it comes to establishing a respectful relationship with the Latin American and Caribbean nations, the US Administration has called for a new summit, putting it in danger and showing, more than the strength, the diplomatic weakness of the Biden Administration. [...] The call for a new summit shows that [...] these have only served to sustain and promote US interference in Latin America, consolidating the existing asymmetries between the center and the periphery of the continent”.

El pasado 3 de junio, se publicó el análisis de Carol Proner y Pablo Gentili sobre la Cumbre de las Américas. “Aceptar las condiciones impuestas por EE. UU. significará un retroceso inexplicable cuando, más allá de sus dificultades, se multiplican los gobiernos progresistas y de izquierda en América Latina”, dicen. Más adelante señalan que “demócratas y republicanos casi siempre han coincidido en que cualquier vínculo con los pueblos que habitan al sur del río Bravo debe establecerse según los intereses, exigencias, necesidades y caprichos exclusivos del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos. (…) Persistente en cometer errores cuando se trata de establecer una relación respetuosa con las naciones latinoamericanas y caribeñas, la Administración norteamericana ha convocado la nueva cumbre, poniéndola en peligro y mostrando más que la fortaleza, la debilidad diplomática de la Administración de Biden. (…) La convocatoria a una nueva cumbre evidencia que (…) estas solo han servido para sustentar e impulsar la injerencia norteamericana en América Latina, consolidando las asimetrías existentes entre el centro y la periferia del continente”.

A SUMMIT FOR THE PHOTO

From analyst Muni Jensen, a commentary was published on June 3rd regarding the Summit of the Americas. “[…] the multiple Summits themselves arouse skepticism and even mockery. In most cases, the only result is a picture of fancy headlines in front of a showy landscape, a handful of disagreements, empty promises and a resolution without merit”, he points out. He also addresses the political context of the region: “[...] with its great political puzzle, to organize a meeting of leaders and expect results is reckless, not only because of the vastness of the political spectrum but the personality differences of each of its leaders and how opposite their Government plans are. Between Bukele and Castillo there is heaven and earth, Boric is new and Duque is outgoing, Maduro is not invited and Bolsonaro and Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador do not agree on anything. Hard to expect solutions to such important issues as insecurity, inequality, climate change and food insecurity in this playground”.

De la analista Muni Jensen, se publicó un comentario el 3 de junio en relación con la Cumbre de las Américas. “(…) las múltiples Cumbres en sí despiertan escepticismo y hasta burla. En la mayoría de los casos el único resultado es una foto de los elegantes titulares frente a un paisaje vistoso, un puñado de desacuerdos, promesas gaseosas y una resolución sin dientes”, señala. Aborda además el contexto político de la región: “(…) con su gran rompecabezas político, organizar una reunión de líderes y esperar resultados es temerario, no solo por lo extenso del espectro político sino las diferencias de personalidad de cada uno de sus líderes y lo opuestos que son sus planes de gobierno.

Entre Bukele y Castillo hay cielo y tierra, Boric es nuevo y Duque saliente, Maduro no está invitado y Bolsonaro y Andrés Manuel López Obrador no están de acuerdo en nada. Difícil esperar soluciones a temas tan importantes como la inseguridad, la desigualdad, el cambio climático y la inseguridad alimentaria en este patio.”

EL PAÍS URUGUAY

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVICTION

“The first two decades of the 21st century have not been easy”, says analyst Tomás Linn when referring to the economy and, especially, to democracy in the West. He warns that “what weakened was democracy: the rule of law, as it is traditionally known, with republican and liberal institutions whose axis is to guarantee the inherent freedoms and rights to each person. [...] Uruguay looks like a solid democracy, which respects the separation of powers and where there is freedom of expression [...] It is not a perfect democracy, but none is. [...] It is enough to see what is happening in a country like the United States, with a very long tradition and institutional stability, but which nevertheless came within a hair’s breadth of falling into the populist temptation in the hands of Donald Trump who despises institutions, courts, freedom of the press and electoral results and is not afraid to send his hordes to take Congress by storm. [...] Trump left the Presidency but his possible return still lurks in the wings of a party that endorses his conduct”.

“Las primeras dos décadas del siglo XXI no han sido fáciles”, dice el analista Tomás Linn al referirse a la economía y, especialmente, a la democracia en occidente. Advierte que “lo que se debilitó fue la democracia: el Estado de Derecho tal como se lo conoce tradicionalmente, con instituciones republicanas y liberales cuyo eje es garantizar las libertades y derechos inherentes a cada persona. (…) Uruguay luce como una democracia sólida, que respeta la separación de poderes y donde hay libertad de expresión (…) No es una democracia perfecta, pero ninguna lo es. (…) Basta ver lo que sucede en un país como Estados Unidos, de larguísima tradición y estabilidad institucional, pero que sin embargo estuvo a un tris de caer en la tentación populista en manos de un Donald Trump que desprecia las instituciones, los tribunales, la libertad de prensa y los resultados electorales y no teme enviar sus hordas a tomar el Congreso por asalto. (…) Trump dejó la presidencia pero su posible retorno aún acecha en andas de un partido que avala su conducta”.

THE IMPACT ON MEXICO OF REMITTANCES COMING FROM THE U.S.

In her commentary of this June 4th, analyst Enriqueta Cabrera recalls that “remittances sent to Mexico from the United States in 2021 reached their highest level in history: 51.6 million dollars, as reported by the Bank of Mexico. [...] Remittances continue to be the salvation for thousands and thousands of households in Mexico, as well as for the country’s economy and the financial system. [...] They are not a simple accessory figure, they are now part of an essential component of the country’s economic structure. [...] They even replace obligations or incapacities of the State, whose social action is being taken over by migration and remittances. [...] migration is plugging holes in what should be the responsibility and social action of the State. The question is obvious: can migration through remittances replace the social functions that correspond to the State? Is it intended to do so? The current dynamic is already clearly pushing in that direction [...] “necessity forces”.

En su comentario de este 4 de junio, la analista Enriqueta Cabrera recuerda que “las remesas enviadas a México desde Estados Unidos en 2021 alcanzaron su nivel más alto en la historia: 51.6 millones de dólares, según reportó el Banco de México. (…) Las remesas siguen siendo la salvación para miles y miles de hogares en México, así como para la economía del país y el sistema financiero. (...) No son una simple cifra accesoria, ahora son parte de un componente esencial de la estructura económica del país. (…) sustituyen incluso obligaciones o incapacidades del Estado, de cuya acción social se están haciendo cargo migración y remesas. (…) la migración va tapando agujeros de lo que debiera ser la responsabilidad y la acción social del Estado. La interrogante es evidente: ¿puede la migración a través de las remesas sustituir las funciones sociales que corresponden al Estado? ¿Se pretende que así sea? La dinámica actual, resulta ya evidente que empuja hacia allá. (…)“necesidad obliga”.

CULTUR MOMPOX THE “CITY OF GOD” IN THE COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN

ES UNO DE LOS PUEBLOS MÁGICOS DE COLOMBIA QUE MÁS TURISTAS ATRAE CADA AÑO, A 300 KILÓMETROS DEL MAR CARIBE. HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MAGICAL TOWNS IN COLOMBIA THAT ATTRACTS MORE TOURISTS EVERY YEAR. By | Por: ERIKA ARDILA | AL DÍA News Writer

ompox is a small colonial town located on the Magdalena River in the Colombian Caribbean. It was founded on May 3, 1537 and is currently recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its beauty and historic value.

Mompox takes its name from the Mompoj chieftain, leader of the Malibu Indians — the tribes that inhabited the region before the arrival of the Spaniards in America. At the time of the Conquest, the chieftain ruled around 50 small tribes, including the Güitacas, Chilloas, Chimíes, Chicaguas, Jaguas, Malibúes, Kates, Kimbayes, Menchiquejos, and Talahiguas.

The architecture of this magical town in Colombia is like that found in Andalusia, Spain — one-story houses with large windows, white-painted facades, structures built in the shape of an L or a C, large patios, and internal wells designed since the mid-sixteenth century to adapt to the climate conditions of the region and collect water when there wasn’t a sewage system.

Thanks to its beautiful architecture, the town hosts important cultural events in the Caribbean, like the Independent Film Festival, the Jazz Festival and the City of Mompox Music Festival. The municipality is also known for religious tourism, thanks to the many ceremonies held in commemoration of Easter.

Mompox’s main architectural attraction is the Church of Santa Bárbara.

Built in 1630, it has a striking baroque tower on its exterior that recreates the legend of the “saint” of the same name.

Another site frequented by visitors is the Municipal Cemetery, which, besides having an unparalleled beauty, contains the tomb of Candelario Obeso, a father of black poetry in America.

Today, filigree is part of Colombia’s cultural heritage, and it’s possible to find these types of pieces made of gold and silver in Mompox or any handicraft shop in Colombia. The crafts are still present as a legacy of Spanish history.

Filigree is the art of weaving silver threads and turning them into unique and unrepeatable figures, which resemble organic shapes like those found in nature.

la región antes de la llegada de los españoles a América. Fue antiguo hogar de los indios malibúes. Para la época de la conquista española, el cacique gobernaba unas cincuenta pequeñas tribus, entre ellas los Güitacas, Chilloas, Chimíes, Chicaguas, Jaguas, Malibúes, Kates, Kimbayes, Menchiquejos, y Talahiguas.

Este pueblo mágico de Colombia cuenta con una arquitectura similar a la de Andalucía (España). Sus casas suelen ser de un solo piso, con grandes ventanales, fachadas pintadas de blanco, estructuras construidas con forma de ‘L’ o ‘C’, amplios patios y pozos internos pensados, desde mediados del siglo XVI, para adaptarse a las condiciones climáticas de la región y acumular agua cuando no había alcantarillado.

Su bella arquitectura hace que este pueblo sea sede de importantes eventos culturales del Caribe, como el Festival de Cine Independiente, el Festival de Jazz y el Festival de Música Ciudad de Mompox.

El municipio también es conocido por el turismo religioso, gracias a las multitudinarias ceremonias realizadas en conmemoración de la Semana Santa.

El mayor atractivo arquitectónico de Mompox es la Iglesia de Santa Bárbara, construida en 1630 y que cuenta en su exterior con una llamativa torre barroca que recrea la leyenda de la “santa” que lleva el mismo nombre. Otro sitio concurrido por los visitantes es el Cementerio Municipal, que además de tener una belleza sin par, contiene la tumba del momposino Candelario Obeso, precursor de la poesía negra en América.

La filigrana es el arte de tejer hilos de plata y convertirlos en figuras únicas e irrepetibles, que asemejan formas orgánicas similares a las que se encuentran en la naturaleza.

Esta práctica de la orfebrería se remonta a la época de la Colonia, con la llegada de los artesanos sevillanos, reconocidos por haber heredado diferentes tradiciones árabes. Entre esas, la habilidad de convertir los preciados metales en hilos de oro y plata para la fabricación de lo que hoy se conoce como el arte de la filigrana.

La filigrana hace parte de la herencia cultural de Colombia y puede encontrarse este tipo de piezas hechas en oro y plata dentro de Mompox o cualquier otro local de artesanías del país. Las artesanías siguen presentes como legado de la historia española.

he pain of the families of the 19 children and the 2 teachers murdered on May 24th at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde (Texas) has crossed the country to mobilize opinions in favor of restricting the carrying of weapons, an issue that divides Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

As a reaction, this Monday, June 6th, a group of students gathered in front of the Capitol to ask for substantive measures. The banners read something like “School is supposed to be a safe place” and “We want to attend graduations, not funerals”.

Along with young people, members of the Students Demand Action movement and other organizations against armed violence, Senators Richard Blumenthal, Chris Murphy, Bob Menéndez and Cory Booker appeared.

Among the students who spoke, Jaden Christensen, from the University of Utah, regarding the current phenomenon, said the following: “We must stop it before more innocent lives are lost, and we must stop it at the root of its cause”.

Young people appeared with bulletproof vests to draw attention to insecurity. They warned that drills carried out in schools due to the risk of shootings should not happen.

Stories of connections into, out of and all around the city

he Philadelphia Sloan Carter returned to in the 1970s as a 14-yearold from Prichard, Alabama, gave her a lot of firsts. It was a culture shock of the worst kind coming North and settling at 50th and Spruce in West Philly.

“I was not ready for the level of violence that I experienced,” Carter said in a recent interview with AL DÍA News.

Gangs, fights in school, and a racist mayoral administration under Frank Rizzo that targeted communities of color with a brutal police force, all contributed to Carter’s feeling of isolation.

ALDÍA News

ENGLISH

At 14, she had also already come to terms that she was a lesbian and didn’t make it a secret. Not only did that lead to targeted attacks at school by peers, but also from her community at church and even her own family.

“I didn’t have a lot of friends. I did have a lot of cousins in Philadelphia on my father’s side, but because I was gay they treated me differently,” said Carter.

She was in need of an escape from her environment with verbal or physical abuse around every corner, and she found it on SEPTA’s 42 bus, which ran down

L

a Filadelfia a la que Sloan Carter regresó en la década de los setenta, cuando era una niña de 14 años procedente de Prichard, Alabama, le proporcionó muchas nuevas experiencias. Llegar al norte e instalarse en la 50th and Spruce en el oeste de Filadelfia fue un choque cultural de la peor clase. “No estaba preparada para el nivel de violencia que experimenté”, dijo Carter en una entrevista reciente con AL DÍA News.

Las pandillas, las peleas en la escuela y la administración racista del alcalde Frank Rizzo, que se centró en las comunidades de color con una fuerza policial brutal, contribuyeron al sentimiento de aislamiento de Carter.

A los 14 años, además, ya había asumido que era lesbiana y no lo ocultaba. Eso no solo le supuso ataques puntuales en la escuela por parte de sus compañeros, sino también de su comunidad en la iglesia, e incluso de su propia familia. “No tenía muchos amigos, pero sí bastantes primos en Filadelfia por parte de mi padre. Pero, como era gay, me trataban de forma diferente”, dijo Carter.

En medio de la necesidad de escapar de su entorno, de los abusos verbales o físicos que encontraba a la vuelta de cada esquina, halló el autobús 42 de la SEPTA, que recorría la Spruce Street a través de su barrio, antes de cruzar el río Schuylkill por Walnut, en su camino hacia Center City.

Abordo SEPTA Historias aque se conectan por toda la ciudad ENGLISH Spruce Street through her neighborhood before crossing the Schuylkill River on Walnut on its way to Center City.

It was there that Carter discovered a new world where she felt she belonged. That was helped along by places like Giovanni’s Room, the country’s oldest LGBTQ+ bookstore, and the many art galleries and cultural events she visited.

“It broadened my community,” said Carter. “By taking a bus, it’s almost like you step out of one world into another world.”

When it came to finding her place as a Black lesbian, Carter said “it was literally like somebody’s turning a light on in a dark room.”

“It was like: ‘I’m not in the world alone.

I’m not in this closed vortex where it’s just me and I’m trying to fight against everybody else just to fit in,’” she said. “By catching a bus, it allowed me to see the world differently from where I was.”

Art came into Carter’s life around the same time. It started with her taking a chance on a free art class at the community center across the street from the bus stop she frequented to get to Center City. While often not seeing eye-to-eye with her teacher, Carter said the experience opened her eyes to using art as a form of expression for whatever she was feeling.

As she began to experiment with that expression on canvas, Carter began to appreciate what went into the practice of art in its many forms. The pieces she saw in the many museums and galleries on her trips to Center City took on new meaning, and she developed favorites over time like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jackson Pollock to name a few.

“I found that art was a way to express everything that I was feeling inside, but

able to do it on the canvas, and then step back and start to understand myself more and start to empower myself more,” said Carter.

Career-wise, she’s led a life helping atrisk youth like herself find their way in the many systems in society that often fail them, and has done it for decades. However, art has remained a constant since she first took SEPTA’s 42 bus decades ago, and it’s sometimes come in handy to connect with certain kids.

“Through art I’ve been able to help kids like art helped me,” Carter said. “Pull out feelings and emotions and things that they have suppressed, that’s harming them over the long run, get it out. That has been my greatest joy.”

Art’s presence in her life is also obvious in a visit to her apartment in Ardmore. Her pieces — the ones she hasn’t sold and donated the proceeds back to causes near and dear to her art — adorn the walls, and her kitchen also functions as a studio space.

To this day, painting is a form of the most intimate expression that can strike her at any moment big or small. From the time she drove through a desolate Philadelphia amid the George Floyd uprisings to the day she just wanted some sunshine instead of rain, it’s all fair game.

When it comes to SEPTA, Carter laughed when asked about how she uses the system now considering she drives a Jaguar. The regional rail still serves as her occasional transport to catch a Phillies game here and there, but she will never forget those bus rides as a teenager on the 42 she would often save money and her tokens to experience.

“It gave me the opportunity to heal,” said Carter. “If it had not been for that bus, I don’t know if I would be here today. It saved me.”

ESPAÑOL Fue allí donde Carter descubrió un nuevo mundo al que sentía pertenecer, y lugares como Giovanni’s Room, la librería LGBTQ+ más antigua del país, y las numerosas galerías de arte y eventos culturales que visitó contribuyeron con el sentimiento. “Esto amplió mi comunidad”, dijo Carter. “Al coger un autobús, es casi como si salieras de un mundo a otro”.

Cuando llegó el momento de encontrar su lugar como lesbiana negra, “fue literalmente como si alguien encendiera una luz en una habitación oscura”, expresó Carter.

“Fue como: ‘No estoy sola en el mundo.

No estoy en este vórtice cerrado en el que solo estoy yo y estoy tratando de luchar contra todos los demás solo para encajar’… Coger un autobús me permitió ver el mundo de forma diferente a como estaba”.

El arte llegó a la vida de Carter más o menos al mismo tiempo. Comenzó con la oportunidad de asistir a una clase de arte gratuita en el centro comunitario situado frente a la parada del autobús que frecuentaba para ir a Center City. Aunque a menudo no coincidía con su profesor, Carter dice que la experiencia le abrió los ojos para utilizar el arte como una forma de expresión de lo que sentía.

Cuando empezó a experimentar con esa expresión en el lienzo, Carter comenzó a apreciar lo que suponía la práctica del arte en sus múltiples formas. Las obras que veía en los numerosos museos y galerías que visitaba en Center City adquirían un nuevo significado, y con el tiempo descubrió sus favoritos, entre los que se encontraban Jean-Michel Basquiat y Jackson Pollock, por nombrar algunos.

“Descubrí que el arte era una forma de expresar todo lo que sentía en mi interior, en este caso en el lienzo, y luego de dar un paso atrás y empezar a entenderme y a empoderarme más”, dijo Carter.

En cuanto a su carrera, ha llevado una vida ayudando a jóvenes en riesgo —como ella— a encontrar su camino en los muchos sistemas de la sociedad que a menudo les fallan, y lo ha hecho durante décadas. Sin embargo, el arte ha sido una constante desde que cogió por primera vez el autobús 42 de SEPTA, hace décadas, y le ha resultado útil para conectar con ciertos niños.

“A través del arte, he podido ayudar a los niños de la misma manera en que el arte me ayudó a mí”, dijo Carter. “Sacar sentimientos y emociones que han reprimido, que les están perjudicando a largo plazo, sacarlo. Esa ha sido mi mayor alegría”.

La presencia del arte en su vida también es evidente en su apartamento en Ardmore. Sus obras —las que no ha vendido, pero cuyos beneficios ha donado a causas cercanas y queridas a su corazón— adornan las paredes, y su cocina también funciona como espacio de estudio.

Hasta el día de hoy, la pintura es una forma de la expresión más íntima que puede golpearla en cualquier momento, grande o pequeño. Desde la vez que condujo por una Filadelfia desolada, en medio de las revueltas por la muerte de George Floyd, hasta el día en que solo quería un poco de sol en lugar de lluvia, todo es válido.

Sobre SEPTA, Carter se rio cuando se le preguntó cómo utiliza el sistema ahora, teniendo en cuenta que conduce un Jaguar. El ferrocarril regional todavía le sirve de transporte ocasional para ver un partido de los Phillies aquí y allá, pero nunca olvidará esos viajes de adolescente en el autobús 42, para los que a menudo ahorraba dinero y sus fichas. “Me dio la oportunidad de curarme”, dice Carter. “Si no hubiera sido por ese autobús, no sé si estaría aquí hoy. Me salvó”.

Through art I’ve been able to help kids like art helped me.

A través del arte, he podido ayudar a los niños de la misma manera en que el arte me ayudó a mí.

WHAT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY A HOME THERE ARE IMPORTANT STEPS TO FINDING THE BEST HOME FOR YOU. ENCONTRAR LA MEJOR CASA POSIBLE REQUIERE UNA SERIE DE PASOS IMPORTANTES. By | Por: JENSEN TOUSSAINT | AL DÍA News Staff Writer

T

he homebuying market is very competitive, and rising mortgage rates are having a direct impact on home prices.

However, despite the challenges, now is the time to make a decision on buying a home. As prices and rates likely continue to rise through the end of the year, waiting may cause you to pay more for the same home later than you would if you purchased it sooner.

These are three important steps to putting yourself in the best position to find and successfully purchase a new home.

• Find the Right Realtor: Realtors will help narrow your search and keep you on top of newly available properties. They know buying areas well and have a wide net of contacts and relationships that can be invaluable in your search. In addition, Realtors can manage juggling multiple offers on houses, an approach that may be needed if a bidding war persists.

• Find the Right Lender: Many Real-

ENGLISH tors have a roster of mortgage lenders they may refer clients to, which can be a great resource to have. Potential homebuyers should look for full transparency from lenders, including what your commitment will be for all upfront costs. You should also work with your lender to ensure all your finances are in order to help lock in the best rate possible, know how much you are pre-approved for, and what a realistic max spend is.

• Take a Look at Wants vs. Needs: The pandemic has changed a lot in terms of what potential homebuyers are looking for. Those changes could open new possibilities for homebuyers who have flexibility in what they want in a home. By taking a patient approach, you can confidently bid on homes knowing your homebuying team has your back, has prepared you to be an attractive buyer, and will be ready to act quickly on your behalf.

E

l mercado de la compra de vivienda es muy competitivo, y el aumento de las tasas de interés hipotecario está teniendo un impacto directo en sus precios.

Sin embargo, a pesar de los desafíos, es el momento de tomar la decisión dew comprar una casa. Como es probable que los precios y las tasas sigan subiendo hasta finales de año, esperar puede hacer que tenga que pagar más por la misma vivienda más adelante.

Los siguientes son tres pasos importantes para estar en la mejor posición para encontrar y comprar con éxito una casa nueva.

• Encuentre el agente inmobiliario adecuado: los agentes inmobiliarios le ayudarán a limitar su búsqueda y le mantendrán al tanto de las nuevas propiedades disponibles. Conocen bien las zonas de compra y disponen de una amplia red de contactos que pueden ser de gran ayuda para su búsqueda. Además, son capaces de gestionar múltiples ofertas, en caso de que persista una alta competencia al respecto.

• Encuentre el prestamista adecuado: muchos agentes inmobiliarios tienen una lista de prestamistas hipotecarios a quienes pueden

remitir sus clientes, lo que es un gran recurso.

Los potenciales compradores de vivienda deben buscar una total transparencia por parte de los prestamistas, incluyendo cuál será su compromiso para todos los costos iniciales.

También deben trabajar con su prestamista para asegurarse de que todas sus finanzas estén en orden, para ayudar a fijar el mejor tipo de interés posible, saber cuánto está preaprobado y cuál es el gasto máximo realista.

• Analice los deseos frente a las necesidades: la pandemia ha cambiado las necesidades de los potenciales compradores de vivienda, y los cambios podrían abrir nuevas posibilidades para quienes sean flexibles respecto a lo que buscan en una casa. Con paciencia, podrá ofertar con confianza, sabiendo que su equipo de compra le está cubriendo la espalda, le ha preparado para ser un comprador atractivo y estará listo para actuar rápidamente en su nombre.

Comprar una casa con éxito implica tomar muchas decisiones, así que, para aliviar parte de esa carga, el WSFS Bank ha lanzado dos programas.

ENGLISH A lot of decisions have to be made in order to successfully purchase a home.

To help ease some of the burden of making those decisions, WSFS has launched two programs.

One is the WSFS Down Payment Grant Program, which helps borrowers who qualify with up to $10,000 to help account for down payments and closing costs when buying a home.

To be eligible, borrowers’ income must be 80% or below the Area Median Income (AMI) and the property must be located in the Majority-Minority Census Tracts (MMCT).

The WSFS Down Payment Grant funds do not require repayment and can be combined with other down payment assistance programs, such as the First Front Door Down Payment Assistance Program, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage programs.

The second program is the WSFS Neighborhood Opportunity Program, which offers qualified homebuyers help

with low down payment options, competitive rates, and in some cases, no private mortgage insurance.

The Neighborhood Opportunity Program also features education resources for borrowers that help them prepare for homeownership and the process for getting a mortgage.

Both programs provide valuable tools that can pay huge dividends for potential buyers.

“These grants provide borrowers with important access to funds that can help them buy a home,” said Ron Dutton, senior vice president and director of community reinvestment for WSFS Bank. “We’re committed to helping buyers with low- and moderate-income in eligible geographic areas use these grants to find their dream home.”

While difficult, buying a home is not impossible and WSFS is available to provide potential homebuyers with the guidance and resources they need.

ESPAÑOL Uno de ellos es el Programa de Subvención para Cuotas Iniciales, que ayuda a los prestatarios que reúnan los requisitos con un máximo de 10.000 dólares para las cuotas iniciales y los costos de cierre al comprar una casa.

Para ser elegibles, los ingresos de los prestatarios deben ser del 80 % o menos del ingreso medio del área, y la propiedad debe estar ubicada en los tramos censales de las minorías mayoritarias.

Los fondos de la subvención para el pago inicial del WSFS no requieren reembolso y pueden combinarse con otros programas de asistencia para el pago inicial, como el First Front Door y los programas hipotecarios de Fannie Mae y Freddie Mac. El segundo programa es el WSFS Neighborhood Opportunity Program, que ofrece a los compradores de vivienda cualificados ayuda con opciones de pagos iniciales bajos, tasas competitivas y, en algunos casos, sin seguro hipotecario privado.

Este programa también cuenta con recursos educativos para los prestatarios que les ayudan a prepararse para ser propietarios de una vivienda y para el proceso de obtención de una hipoteca.

Ambos programas ofrecen valiosas herramientas que pueden reportar grandes beneficios a los compradores potenciales.

“Estos subsidios proporcionan a los prestatarios un importante acceso a los fondos que pueden ayudarles a comprar una casa”, dijo Ron Dutton, vicepresidente senior y director de Reinversión Comunitaria del WSFS Bank. “Estamos comprometidos a ayudar a los compradores con ingresos bajos y moderados, en las áreas geográficas elegibles, a utilizar estas subvenciones para encontrar la casa de sus sueños”.

Aunque es difícil, comprar una casa no es imposible, y el WSFS Bank está disponible para proporcionar a los potenciales compradores de vivienda la orientación y los recursos que necesitan.

FROM PAGE HELPING A DEVASTATED UVALDE COMMUNITY From pag. 6 |

As of June 4, more than $268,000 have been raised by the campaign.

ADVOCACY LEADERS REACT

The Robb Elementary School shooting took place in a city with a 81.8% Latino population.

While in the short-term, the news cycle will mention the shooting itself, the long-term discussion is around the topic of gun control.

In light of the tragedy, Latino advocacy leaders have made their voices heard, calling for lawmakers to take action.

Frankie Miranda, President & CEO of Hispanic Federation, noted that mass shootings “are becoming all too frequent in the United States.”

“We demand that our elected officials take responsibility and start telling us NOW what concrete steps they will take to make our communities safer,” he wrote in a statement.

ENGLISH

Cid Wilson, President & CEO of the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility, shared a similar sentiment.

“We, as a society, cannot accept these shootings and acts of violence as normal in America,” said Wilson.

These challenges in our society will not be resolved on their own. We must continue to raise our voices to call for change that will lead to a safer society for all.” he added.

Mass shootings are tragic incidents that rips people away from their loved ones. However, it has also presented opportunities to bring people together in grief, consolement, and ultimately social change.

The U.S. has reached far past the point where change is needed. The hope is that now with the sorrow and devastation of 9, 10, and 11-year-old children being murdered inside an elementary school classroom, lawmakers can finally take the necessary action to reduce the likelihood of these tragedies happening.

LOS LÍDERES DE LA DEFENSA REACCIONAN

El tiroteo en la Escuela Primaria Robb tuvo lugar en una ciudad cuya población latina representa el 81,8 % de los habitantes.

Aunque a corto plazo, el ciclo de noticias mencionará el tiroteo en sí, el debate a largo plazo gira en torno al tema del control de armas. A la luz de la tragedia, los líderes defensores de la comunidad latina han alzado su voz, pidiendo a los legisladores que tomen medidas.

Frankie Miranda, presidente y director general de la Federación Hispana, señaló que los tiroteos masivos “son cada vez más frecuentes en Estados Unidos”.

En un comunicado indicó que “exigimos que nuestros funcionarios electos asuman su responsabilidad y empiecen a decirnos AHORA qué medidas concretas van a tomar para que nuestras comunidades sean más seguras”.

Cid Wilson, presidente y director gene-

ral de la Asociación Hispana de Responsabilidad Corporativa, compartió un sentimiento similar: “Nosotros, como sociedad, no podemos aceptar estos tiroteos y actos de violencia como algo normal en Estados Unidos”. Añadió que “estos retos no se resolverán por sí solos; debemos seguir alzando la voz para pedir un cambio que conduzca a una sociedad más segura para todos”.

Los tiroteos masivos son incidentes trágicos que arrancan a las personas de sus seres queridos. Sin embargo, también representan oportunidades para unir a la gente en el dolor, el consuelo y, en última instancia, el cambio social.

En Estados Unidos se ha llegado a un punto en el cual se necesita un cambio.

La esperanza es que ahora, con el dolor y la devastación de los niños de 9, 10 y 11 años asesinados en un aula de primaria, los legisladores puedan finalmente tomar las medidas necesarias para reducir la probabilidad de que estas tragedias ocurran.

DREAMER GRADS CUT OFF From pag. 9 |

ed to the school of my dreams but was unable to attend because I did not qualify for financial aid due to my status,” Nuñez said.

While she was able to graduate from MSU Denver, she Nuñez was unable to continue a career in STEM because she could not work at federally funded labs.

Her experience is not unlike many others who lack DACA protections.

Without the option to easily change their immigration status, non-DACA Dreamers must find work in places that don’t require authorization or find ways

to pay tuition in hopes that DACA protections will be extended in the future.

But that future seems very far away, if possible at all. The program’s fate is buried under a pile of legal action brought on by the Trump administration’s attempt to end the policy, and any legislation on the matter is unlikely, at least in the short-term.

Still, advocates continue pushing Congress to tackle the urgent issues facing immigrants today, such as DACA and backlogs for work visa holders and their families.

ESPAÑOL

Aunque pudo graduarse de la Metropolitan State University de Denver, Núñez no tuvo la oportunidad de continuar una carrera en STEM porque no podía trabajar en los laboratorios financiados por el Gobierno federal.

Su experiencia no es diferente a la de muchos otros que carecen de las protecciones de DACA. Sin la opción de cambiar fácilmente su estatus migratorio, los dreamers sin DACA deben encontrar trabajo en lugares que no requieren autorización o maneras de pagar la matrícula con la esperanza de que las protecciones del programa se extiendan en el futuro.

Pero ese futuro parece muy lejano, si es que es posible. El destino del programa está enterrado bajo una pila de acciones legales provocadas por el intento de la administración Trump de poner fin a la política. Cualquier legislación al respecto es poco probable, al menos a corto plazo.

Aun así, los defensores siguen presionando al Congreso para que aborde los problemas urgentes a los que se enfrentan los inmigrantes hoy en día, como el DACA, y los retrasos para los titulares de visados de trabajo y sus familias.

AMERIE’S BRONZE CROSS From pag. 11 |

“[My daughter] is taking it really hard. She would protect her from the bullies,” Treviño said,as his daughter cried during a vigil for Amerie.

In an interview with CNN, Garza’s stepfather, Angel Garza, said he wants people to know that she died trying to save her classmates.

“She was so scared of just strangers and things like this. She would lock the door when I would step out to put gas in the car.

This is literally her worst fear and she was just trying to help everyone,” he said.

Amerie Jo Garza died upholding the Girl Scout Promise: “to help people at all times,” and for that, she received one final badge.

En una entrevista con CNN, el padrastro de Amerie dijo que quiere que la gente sepa que ella murió tratando de salvar a sus compañeros. “Tenía mucho miedo de los extraños y de cosas así. Cerraba la

puerta cuando yo salía a echar gasolina al coche. Este es, literalmente, su peor miedo, y ella solo trataba de ayudar a todos”, dijo.

Amerie Jo Garza murió cumpliendo la promesa de las Girl Scouts: “ayudar a la gente en todo momento”, y por ello recibió su última insignia.

PENSAMIENTO DE LÍDERES

F

rom time to time, here and there, political mouths open to preach lies. The United States and Colombia are old friends, flesh and blood, they repeat as a mantra of hemispheric politics.

However, nobody makes it clear that this friendship is only in appearance, and only between governments, not people. It is a friendship of convenience and opportunity. In politics there are, if at all, allies or partners, never friends.

If friendship were real, if Colombia’s interests were truly important, episodes like the recent surrender of Dairo Antonio ‘Otoniel’ Usuga, one more among many high-ranking criminals who, upon leaving, left Colombia deceived, hurt, skeptical... would not occur.

The man will no longer have the opportunity to cite names of military and politicians, or facts, or anything hidden by paramilitary activity, where he was a general. Nothing.

Total silence in the presence of an ocean of victims filled with pain and drained of their tears.

Everything he says can be used against him, but in secret, so nothing that links him to the political and economic classes ‘Otoniel’ made pacts with, associated with and defended.

The U.S. government only cares about the political impact of announcing that they have Latin American drug lords in their jails. They do not care about the 100,000 Americans who die every year from drug use.

The Colombian government, for its part, is motivated by a pat on the back, never genuine praise, the satisfaction of feeling that Washington has put its indulgences on every president in office.

They do not dare to think that, the U.S. government does not care about a single one of the 100,000 lives taken by psychotropic drugs, much less does it care about the tears, the pain, the tragedy of the thousands of Latin Americans killed in a war

JUNE 8 - 15, 2022

ENGLISH that frames the world of drug trafficking.

And yet, at least in our situation, it is assumed that exactly 200 years of bilateral relations should lead to a better deal, to true friendship.

With the extradition of ‘Otoniel,’ the United States was full of praise for the Colombian authorities because he was arrested. No one referred to the fact that the detainee surrendered voluntarily and peacefully.

But why so much recognition? It is as if they were force fed a pill that the world had to swallow, whether it wanted to or not.

In scenarios like this, it is easy to infer that the United States is interested in something more than catching a criminal. What? Perhaps facilities to install military bases from where to watch over Venezuelan oil?

It could be…

Oil has been the engine of the most recent wars. In light of the conditions set by Venezuela to sell its crude oil to Washington, it is licit to think, based on experience, that the way is to get its hands on it, at any price. A price that, of course, could imply, without exaggeration, a Colombian-Venezuelan war that could allow the occupation of the Orinoco strip, full of oil, gas and other minerals.

Who would defend Venezuela? No one. Russia, almost in ruins, thousands and thousands of miles away, is not on the list. Neither is Iran. Nicaragua, Cuba and Bolivia? Ha. To keep up appearances, Colombia would talk about doing a favor to a friend like Washington. Friendship is a powerful reason.

But, in the scenario of Colombia and the United States, considering the situation with ‘Otoniel’, among dozen others, it is worth asking: friends of what? (*) Orlando Gamboa is a Colombian journalist, writer and political scientist with media experience in the United

ESPAÑOL

D

e tanto en tanto, aquí y allá, se abren las bocotas políticas para predicar la mentira. Estados Unidos y Colombia son viejos amigos, uña y carne, repiten como mantra de la política hemisférica.

Pero nadie aclara que esa amistad es solo de apariencia, y solo entre los gobiernos. No entre los pueblos. Es una amistad de conveniencia. Un simple compadrazgo de oportunidad. En política hay, si acaso, aliados, o socios; jamás, amigos.

Si la amistad fuera real, si en verdad interesaran los intereses de Colombia, no ocurrirían episodios como el reciente de la entrega de Dairo Antonio ‘Otoniel’ Úsuga, uno más entre muchos criminales de alto vuelo que, al irse, han dejado a Colombia engañada, adolorida, escéptica…

El hombre ya no tendrá oportunidad de citar ni nombres de militares y políticos ni hechos ni nada de todo lo oculto que deja la actividad paramilitar, de la que él fue un general. Nada. Silencio total ante un océano de víctimas henchidas de dolor y vaciadas de lágrimas.

Todo lo que diga podrá ser usado en su contra, pero en secreto, para que no trascienda nada que vincule a las castas políticas y económicas con las que ‘Otoniel’ pactó, se asoció y a las que defendió.

A los gobiernos de Estados Unidos solo les importa el beneficio del impacto político de anunciar que tiene en sus cárceles a capos del narcotráfico latinoamericano. Les tienen sin el menor cuidado los 100.000 estadounidenses que perecen cada año por consumir drogas.

A los gobiernos colombianos, por su parte, les mueve el disfrute del golpecito en la espalda, el elogio nunca sincero, la satisfacción de sentir que Washington ha puesto sus complacencias en cada presidente de turno.

No se atreven a pensar en que, si al gobierno de Estados Unidos no le inquieta una sola de las 100.000 vidas arrebatadas por los psicotrópicos, mucho menos le importan las lágrimas, el dolor, la tragedia de los miles de latinoamericanos caídos en la guerra que enmarca el mundo del narcotráfico.

Y eso que, al menos en el caso nuestro, se supone que 200 años exactos de relaciones bilaterales deberían dar para un mejor trato, para una verdadera amistad.

Con la extradición de ‘Otoniel’, Estados Unidos se deshizo en elogios para las autoridades colombianas, porque fue arrestado. Nadie se refirió a que el detenido se entregó voluntaria y pacíficamente.

Pero ¿por qué tanto reconocimiento?

Es como si estuvieran dorando una píldora que el mundo deberá tragar, quiera o no.

En casos así es fácil inferir que a Estados Unidos le interesa algo más que la captura de un delincuente. Pero ¿qué? ¿Quizás facilidades para instalar bases militares desde donde cuidar, mirando por el rabillo del ojo, el petróleo venezolano? Podría ser…

El petróleo ha sido el motor de las guerras más recientes. Ante las condiciones fijadas por Venezuela para vender su crudo a Washington, es lícito pensar, con base en la experiencia, que el camino es echarle mano, al precio que sea. Precio que, por supuesto, podría implicar, sin exagerar, una guerra colombo-venezolana que pueda permitir la ocupación de, digamos, la franja del Orinoco, repleta, como está, de petróleo, gas y otros minerales.

Como en el caso de Ucrania, Estados Unidos no daría la cara, pero pondría su billetera para prestar todos los dólares necesarios en forma de armas. Obvio, el cobro viene después, con intereses de agio. ¿Quién defendería a Venezuela? Nadie. Rusia, casi en la ruina, a miles y miles de millas de distancia, no figura en la lista. Tampoco Irán. Menos India. ¿Nicaragua, Cuba y Bolivia? Ja. Para no perder las apariencias, Colombia hablaría de hacerle un favor a un amigo como Washington. La amistad es una razón poderosa.

Pero, en el caso de Colombia y Estados Unidos, a juzgar por el caso de ‘Otoniel’, sin contar decenas de otros más, cabe preguntar: ¿amigos de qué? (*) Periodista, escritor y politólogo colombiano con experiencia en medios de comunicación de Estados Unidos, Colombia y Ecuador.
