His search for profound answers to the farmers' dire situation started when three indigenous leaders from Latin American tribes, among others, were invited in 1989 to a seminar about FUNDAEC's almost 80 textbooks fruit of research about agriculture, engineering, education, and agroindustry for rural communities wellbeing. After having presented the results of 15 years of research, he asked them about their opinion. There were a Mapuche from Chile, a Kariña from Venezuela, and a Quechua from Bolivia. At the end of the seminar, he asked them what they thought about FUNDAEC's work during a break. They look at each other and the oldest, Sabino Ortega the Amauta Quechua, said: Leo, what you have is good, but indigenous people perceive nature differently. When Leo asked Sabino, how come? Sabino answered: When I observe a special bird flying over my home, I know visitors started walking to visit us, and they will be here in two or three days. Leo told them that he would study their concern and look for an answer. Their response transformed the course of his life. From the writings of Bahá'u'lláh, he was aware of focusing the search on the ancient Greek philosophers. I have vast experience working with NGOs in Colombia and Central America as a consultant and as a teacher. Specifically, I developed and teach a methodology that allows Businesses and Non-Profits to define parameters and formulate indicators to measure their progress in solving their problems. In Atlanta, I have volunteered at the Latin American Association, teaching a course titled Domestic Violence Issues and designing and teaching a course to train Hispanics to monitor and evaluate their job performance to increase job stability. These experiences have given me solid, extensive management skills, which, when coupled with my experiences at HCAG (Hispanic Contractor's Association of Georgia), mainly a course, that I developed and taught on Risk Management, have prepared me to continue to work in education with the diverse, multicultural populations of Georgia. Because of the US 2008 economic recession I have been taking care of little kids for the last three and half years and I have learn patience and understanding of little ones curiosity and how to guide them and take care of them.I am very goal oriented, a skill I learned as the Academic Coordinator of a graduate program in Management of Non-Profits the equivalent of a Masters in Social Management. As a result of my academic and professional training, I am methodical and organized in my approach to education. The author dedicated his other books to the relentlessly persecuted Bahá'ís of Iran. This book is also in their honor for being so resilient and steadfast human beings.My eternal gratitude to my wife and our dear children, their spouses, and grandkids; I will never forget the joy of being with them and their support, patience, and love in accepting the long hours I dedicate to my research.показать меньше
