Vicente Ferrer, founder of the Foundation that bears his name, died yesterday in Anantapur (India) at 89 years of age.
"Wait a miracle "put on a poster hanging on a wall of his ramshackle house in Anantapur in 1969, and the miracle came in the same building transformed into the headquarters of an NGO in the XXI century and covers 2,278 villages in the state of Andra Pradesh and benefits more than 2.5 million people.
But to build this humanitarian space and to promote an ideological shift dignified people Dalits or untouchables, in a rural region burdened by poverty and discrimination, Ferrer made gala over decades of an indomitable spirit and never gave his arm twisted.
The endless array of programs undertaken by NGOs (housing, education, sexual abuse brake, instruction Samaritans "Dalits") is so overwhelming that it has won recognition from the authorities.
The English Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, handed in India last January, the Grand Cross of Civil Merit to the winner Ferrer, also Prince of Asturias Award for Concord 1998.
years now we have a relationship with the Vicente Ferrer Foundation as our goddaughter Rupamma is one of the girls who are educated and live with a slightly less inhumane conditions thanks to the work that these professionals work.
