00:30Daughter Alexandra Maria Grullon de Estrella, taken away on the tragic night of the jet set.

00:35She has announced in memory of her late daughter the creation of the Alexandra Grullon Academic and Cultural Fund.

00:42This fund, forged in the heart of a mother who transforms her grief into action, is not just a scholarship program.

00:49It is a living tribute to Alexandra's spirit, an echo of her deepest desire.

00:55May we have the best country possible.

00:57Its purpose is clear and noble, to fund university and artistic studies for young people with limited resources,

01:05thus illuminating paths that chance or adversity threaten to obscure.

01:09The selection of future scholarship recipients will prioritize those most in need,

01:14extending a special hand to the victims and their families of the April 8th tragedy,

01:19weaving a blanket of solidarity over the shared womb.

01:22Doña Melba, in a moving testimony, confessed,

01:25In these moments, when I feel God's presence closer than ever, I understand that my life is irrevocably a life of service.

01:32I serve by praying, I serve by giving thanks to him, because my human strength is exhausted, but his sustains me.

01:41This act of profound maternal love follows not only the impulse of her own social commitment embodied in Sur Futuro,

01:48but also the luminous path of her husband, the remembered banker and philanthropist Alejandro E. Grullon,

01:55forger of vital institutions for the country, the Alexandra Grullon Academic and Cultural Fund is more than a charitable institution.

02:04It is a monument to the love that conquers death, a promise of the future woven from the broken threads of a painful present.

02:11In every young person who raises their gaze thanks to a scholarship,

02:15in every artistic or academic dream that blossoms, Alexandra's luminous essence will live on.

02:21Her memory will not be kept silent.

02:23It will resonate in classrooms, vibrate in creations,

02:27and multiply in the service of those who, thanks to her legacy,

02:31will be able to build the best possible country she dreamed of.

02:33Congratulations for Listine Diario, voiceover and translation by Danny Leon.
