Dear Professor Rafael thank you so much for your congrats. As a matter of
fact, that topic is a part of my currently PhD. research conducted at

this controversial issue. And due to your condition as inmigrant your
comprehension is valuable to understand, and share experiences to construct
Latinamerican design thinking.
