    Interview with Carmen Sanchez (Spanish Episode)

    Send us Fan Mail The Birth of Despertar Sin Violencia (Spanish Episode) In this special Spanish-language episode of Voices of Hope, we hear the true story behind the birth of Despertar Sin Violencia, told by its founder in her own voice. She sits down with RCMCI President Yudith Aguero Ruiz and shares the deeply personal experiences that transformed pain into purpose and became the inspiration for creating an organization dedicated to supporting survivors of gender-based violence. This is the story that embodies the hope, resilience, and determination that continue to guide Despertar Sin Violencia today. While many know the organization’s mission, this conversation reveals the journey that made that mission necessary—and the unwavering belief that no one should have to face violence alone. Presented entirely in Spanish, this episode is a powerful reminder that hope is often born from life’s darkest moments, and that one person’s courage can become a source of hope for countless others. Listener discretion is advised. This episode discusses domestic violence and may be distressing for some audiences.

    The Birth of Despertar Sin Violencia

    Send us Fan Mail The Birth of Despertar Sin Violencia Every movement begins with a single moment. In this special episode of Voices of Hope, we share a dramatic retelling inspired by the lived experiences of the founder of Despertar Sin Violencia, one of the charities supported this year by Rotary Club Marbella Cosmopolitan International. While the dialogue and narrative have been recreated for storytelling purposes, the episode is based on the founder’s real journey through domestic violence, divorce, and the courageous decision to seek safety for herself and her children. It tells the emotional story of how one woman’s search for hope became a mission to ensure that no one has to face violence alone. This is a work of dramatic nonfiction—fact-based, respectfully adapted, and created to honor the resilience, courage, and purpose behind the founding of Despertar Sin Violencia. Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains themes of domestic violence and may be distressing for some audiences. https://www.despertarsinviolencia.org/ What Gives You Hope? https://www.instagram.com/professorastrel?igsh=YmV5cDg4YWtqb3Z6 https://www.instagram.com/rotaryclubmarbellacosmopolitan?igsh=MWQyN2N1ZW5laHZ3Yw== Support in 2026-2027 from RCMCI includes recipients:  https://www.instagram.com/fundacioncudeca?igsh=b3d6cHJ4bHRidGlm https://www.instagram.com/asociacion_principito?igsh=cnJqNXM1d2xicmlk

    Rotary Year 2026-2027 Charge of Creating Lasting Impact

    Send us Fan Mail “Lasting impact” isn’t a buzzword when you’re talking about children who need therapy, families who need support, and communities that can’t be served by a single donation and a photo op. We’re joined by Dr. Judith Aguero Ruiz, president of Rotary Club Marbella Cosmopolitan International, to unpack what legacy really looks like when you lead with consistency, compassion, and a clear plan. We get specific about the service projects driving this Rotary year. Dr. Aguero Ruiz explains why the club prioritizes long-term partnerships, then shares global work with Madre Coraje, supporting children in Mozambique and Peru with essentials like education resources, clothing, and sanitation. We also talk about local needs closer to Marbella and Malaga, including school materials and mental health support such as psychotherapy, plus the real-world challenge of helping organizations expand into bigger spaces when demand grows. The most moving part of our conversation centers on Cudeca and pediatric neuropediatric neuro rehabilitation for children with terminal illnesses. Beyond clinical care, the mission is quality of life: therapies, safe weekends outside the hospital environment, and memory-making moments like celebrations that remind families they’re not alone. We close on a powerful definition of success and a simple answer to what gives hope: children, love, and kindness, and the reminder that young people are watching how we lead. If this story resonates, subscribe for more Voices of Hope, share this episode with someone who believes in service, and leave us a review so more listeners can find these conversations.
