Juana María Sandoval

”With great joy I welcomed in 2006 the creation of HRF with its aim of researching ways of renewing the culture of the home, something most needed for the future development of society.  My experience as an educationalist and my work with different Foundations makes me aware of the relevance of the work of the home for the family and as a result for society at large.  From its beginning I have followed HRF’s  progress and tried to cooperate as much as I could.  Therefore, I am now very grateful to have  been asked to collaborate in a more direct way with the Foundation and its work.”
