I could not resist relaying the news in my blog since Jimena is my wife and I am super proud of her :o). She is probably one of the humblest people I know and does amazing work to help artists and make the world a better place.
You can find out more about the foundation here . You can also help the work of the NMAC foundation (non profit) by becoming a friend of the foundation. Text of the full press release: The Director of NMAC Foundation is the first Andalusian woman to be appointed by the Forum. Since 2001, she has been the director of the NMAC Foundation, which was created as a space that would interact with its social, cultural and territorial surroundings. Throughout its eight years in this mediating role, the museum has been committed to supporting contemporary artists, with site-specific projects that foster social dialogue and understanding through the arts, and to its educational role, which focuses on the promotion of free-thinking and respect for the environment. The World Economic Forum was created in 1971, “to help solve the problems of our time”, in terms of everything to do with socio-economic progress and development. The Forum is an independent international organization devoted to trying to improve the state of the world by promoting and creating partnerships of leaders who work together to shape the global agenda. As it explains on its website (www.weforum.org), the Forum of Young Global Leaders was created in 2004 by Professor Klaus Schwab. It is an international community of “extraordinary” young individuals from different disciplines, activities and sectors, drawn from every region of the world. They are called upon to devote part of their time to setting up an agenda of global challenges, and to share part of their knowledge and energy for undertaking collective tasks and projects that contribute to shaping a better future. There are two other Spaniards on the 2009 list of nominees, besides the director of the NMAC Foundation: Javier García Martínez, director and founder of Rive Technology, and Javier Santiso, director or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). There are also some famous members, such as Chris Martin, of Coldplay, Tiger Woods, and Michael Schumacher. Other nominations are connected to technology, the Internet sector, and economics, such as Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, Chad Hurley, co-founder and CEO of Youtube, Josh Silverman, CEO of Skype, and Karl-Theodor Zu Guttenberg, the German Minister of Economy.
Congratulations to you and your wife, of course. I’ve been watching the work of NMAC foundation and it’s amazing how can make a difference with the right people and will.
My applause for Jimena Blásquez Abascal for a work well done. Fortunately, it’s recognized.
tks Rui for your comment, its much appreciated
Please implement citizenship into erepublik. You are ruining your own game by not fixing this. There is a lot of uproar over this right now and admins don’t seem to be doing anything about it. Except banning sweden’s tanks, so PEACE forces can win a victory and get Atlantis mad. Then Atlantis will spend more moneyn winning more victories. Your admins are so corrupt it’s unbeleiveable. They don’t deal with any issues and keep talking about new sections like store or community that nowone cares about. This is more important to the quality of the game. Please consider what I’ve said. I’m sorry for posting this on your blog but there seems to be no other way of communication.
Congratulations to your wife. People like her can make a difference in the real world. As for the New World, @ Gold Buyer let’s work together to find the best communication channels in order to solve issues like this. I’m pretty sure you know where to find me.
