    I find your jobs highly interesting and a great contribution to world peace. I graduated from the Agriculture School, Universidad Nacional de Colombia and have a Master’s degree from the UIniversity of Tsukuba, Japan, where I lived almost 13 years and acquired an experience in several fields, among them on economic and social development. I’m working now at the Javeriana University, Cali campus. Among my duties I teach International Business. I would love to return to the developing world part of the efforts it has done to educate me, as I would love to put my humble knowledge and resources at the service of the global communities as well.
