A note from Roxana Cedeño Sequeira.
With the support of the José Figueres Ferrer Cultural and Historical Center (CCHJFF) we received in the city of San Ramón the First Latin American March for Multiethnic and Pluricultural Nonviolence.
Note from Roxana Cedeño Sequeira.
We are pleased to share with the Latin American families that virtually follow us in this March, gratifying moments today we receive the marchers, among them we are accompanied by Don Rafael de La Rubia, who comes from Spain, a humanist, nonviolent social activist. Founder of the World without Wars association and promoter of the First and Second World March for Peace. (2009 one and 2019 the other). Also the First Central American March in 2017 and the First South American March in 2018.
In addition, Mr. Geovanny Blanco, National Coordinator of World without Wars and Violence in Costa Rica participated on this first day.
Likewise, Mrs. Mercedes Hidalgo, a member of Mundo Sin Guerras de Costa Rica, among others.
At the reception, Mrs. Grettel Ávila Vargas, Director of Circuit 01 of the Ministry of Public Education MEP in San Ramón, said present.
We live one of those wonderful synchronicities that happen, since the structure where this Center is currently located is the house (remodeled) where Don José Figueres Ferrer (known affectionately as Don Pepe) was born.
Don Pepe, was a humanist, statesman and politician, is recognized in the world for having had the vision in 1948 to abolish the army, which allowed to strengthen a culture of peace and the promotion of social development together with other national leaders of that time .
El CCHJFF thus honors his memory and legacy by trying to turn the site into a shelter, host and promotion of historical memory to the different expressions of art and culture of the town where he was born, San Ramón de Alajuela.
This is because he was a person committed to the culture and cultivation of the multiple artistic manifestations which motivated the creation of the phrase that became famous "so that tractors without violins".
We receive them with enthusiasm and joy, our conviction is to promote a culture of Peace, because Peace is Strength.
