When I started studying at UIC Barcelona I was excited. First, because it was my first year living in Barcelona, but especially due to all the opportunities I could see I would have. Opportunities of all kinds, but above all, I was attracted to those that allowed me to help the people in the city most in need

Volunteering is the most selfish commitment you can make, because you give everything you have, knowing full well that you’ll get back ten times more in return
