As the founder of Caritas Smile, our community has embarked on a journey to create a global movement fueled by understanding, compassion, and your passionate involvement in traveling with purpose and recognize first hand the beauty and disparties that other communities live in.
Together, we'll infuse this mission with a spirited sense of inclusivity and collaboration, inviting you to join us in making a meaningful difference in the world.
​
My passion for making a difference began with a simple yet powerful idea: that acts of kindness can create ripples of positivity that touch the lives of those who need it most. Inspired by this vision, I established Caritas Smile, a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting marginalized communities and individuals facing challenges.
​
Our Caritas Smile volunteers have harnessed the potential of community engagement, creativity, and social media to create a platform that brings people together to make a meaningful impact. Somthing I like to call humanitarian tourism has become a movement. I've seen firsthand how a single act of kindness can inspire hope and foster connections, sparking a chain reaction of goodwill that transcends borders.
​
Beyond Caritas Smile, I've taken on the role of a speaker, sharing insights about the power of generosity, the importance of community, and the potential for small actions to create profound change. Our journey has been marked by the volunteers, communities, and lives that have been saved through our program like Katherine Rodriguez, a twenty-three year old mother with only one month to live battleing luekemia and whose life we are currently trying to save
​
Our commitment to making the world a brighter, kinder place drives every aspect of our work. With Caritas Smile, together we continue to lead with boundless energy and an unwavering belief that together, we can create a world where equality is abundant, connections are strong, and positivity is ever-present.
​
Join us on this journey as we turn acts of kindness into a force for lasting change.
​
In gratitude,
​
