He considers that his role is fundamental and that thanks to his work, he contributes to alleviating the situation, difficulties and needs of many people and groups from different fields and problems. A fundamental resource that had its revalidation in the times of the covid-19 pandemic. So they were key to structuring a society in an extreme situation.
