Laura Franco

Bogotá, Colombia


 

Social Worker • Caja de Esperanza Foundation

Laura is a lover of sports. She belongs to a beautiful family made up of her father, mother, and older sister. In the church where she grew up, Nueva Vida, she had the fortune of meeting wonderful people who have accompanied and guided her through her professional development. She got connected to Pastor Esther Sánchez at Caja Esperanza, where she began guiding and teaching children and youth how to build healthy habits and lifestyles through physical activity.

In her free time, Laura enjoys playing sports, especially fútbol (soccer). She's been a part of an indoor fútbol academy for more than 8 years!

Laura sees UPLAM as a great opportunity to continue learning and to have new tools and methodologies that will allow her to help the families of her community.

Her intention Is that through sports, young people can make better use of their free time, which will allow them to focus their mind on something that will help them grow.
