I think that one of the more adequate means to promote the development of rural communities is by strenghthening the local capacity and empowering youth to involve in the process. I graduated as Agronomy Technologist in the IPL (Instituto Politécnico Loyola), San Cristóbal, Dom. Rep., in 2004 and Agronomic Engineer at Earth University, Costa Rica (2008). I am interested in Rural Sustainable Development, Organic Agriculture, Politics and Literature. I am member of Fondo Grande Ahead Youth Organization (FOGA), which links people, ideas and resources with the development process of our community. This organization was founded in December 2007, when I organized a group of youth in the community, motivating them to take action to be part of the development of Fondo Grande and bordering zones. The FOGA directive meets two times a week and is working to achieve the goals for this year. I have also been the Promotion and Communication Agent of our group. Through this position, I have worked in order to make Fondo Grande Ahead be known around the world as a youth led organization that works for the development of its community. One of my works have been the design and publication of a Website about our community and organization. This is available in English and Spanish. The URL is: http://www.fondogrande.org/ Now I am the president of FOGA and honorific technical advisor of "Consejo para el Desarrollo de Fondo Grande", my community's biggest organization. I work with Plan Nacional Quisqueya Verde, leading two binational reforestation brigades in Fondo Grande and Merende, communities of Dominican Republic and Haiti, respectively. Until the end of november 2009, we have planted around 70,000 trees in Merende and 131,000 in Fondo Grande.
