Written Testimonio Transcription
La Marcha y Yo: “Participo del Movimiento Humanista hace 19 años. En todo este tiempo he hecho parte de diversos proyectos de humanismo, paz, y no violencia.También he participado como fotógrafo y reportero de distintas marchas y proyectos sociales.”
La Marcha y el Mundo: “Pienso que la marcha es la oportunida para darse cuenta de que la mayoría de la gente quiere vivir en paz. Para hacer redes y conocer personas y organizaciones, que trabajan por la paz mundial y entendimiento entre los pueblos.”
La Marcha y el Futuro: “La marcha se proyecta como la posibilidad de establecer relaciones entre personas e instituciones y conformar una fuerza suficiente para presionar a los gobiernos, instituciones y personajes para transformar la historia.”
Otros Temas: “Trabajo con un proyecto que se llama "más que voz." Es un periodismo virtual que publica reportajes sobre juventud, participación ciudadana, política, procesos sociales y temas sobre no violencia y resolución pacífica de conflictos. www.masquevoz.com”

The March and I: "I have participated in the Humanist movement for 19 years. I all this time I have been part of diverse projects of humanism, peace, and non violence. I have also participated as photographer and reporter of different marches and social projects. "
The March and the World: "I think that the march is the opportunity to realize that a majority among people want to live in peace. [The march is the opportunity] to make networks and meet people and organizations that work for world peace and understanding among peoples. "
The March and the Future: “The march projects itself as the possibility to establish relationships among people and institutions, and to come together as a force sufficiently [strong] to pressure governments, institutions, and personalities to transform history.”
Other themes: “I work in a project called “more than voice” [“más que voz”]. It is virtual journalism that published reportages about youth, civic participation, politics, social processes, and topics about non violence and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. www.masquevoz.com “ Item Link
