INTRODUCTION 

As the saying goes: While one hope dies, thousands may be reborn. 

“This whole project, perfectly achieved in material terms, was born out of love. No doubt of its success. It has been a way to transform the sorrow and pain of a mother into particular motivations for many young persons, which leave a mark forever.”
– Rodrigo A. CARAZO, Chair, The 2023 J.U.C. Awards Evaluation Committee
