Link: Ulises de la Cruz

I just came across this blog through an FB update from someone I (vaguely) knew years ago in school but who I’m quite sure doesn’t remember me:

Friends of Funde Cruz
http://friendsoffundecruz.blogspot.com/
“Ulises de la Cruz has for many years been supporting the development of his home village in Equador. Ulises donates 10% of his wage to his foundation ‘Funde Cruz’ towards the development of his hometown in Afro-Ecuadorean village Piquincho, in ‘Valle de Shota’ This is a day by day account given by three business students from Cass Business School, of their trials and tribulations during their 15 day fact finding trip to Ecuador.”

He’s also linked to an article from the Beeb about Ulises de la Cruz which talks about how the ‘South American footballer playing in the English Premiership is spending his high salary not on fast cars and big houses, but on rebuilding an entire community where he grew up’.
Talk about one person making a difference!
