CREATOR
The Hugo Project is a byproduct of love. In fact, without love there would be no creation of this project. As mentioned, in Our Story, my story began as I questioned my existence, abandonment, and the purpose of my role in this world. These questions, made me increasingly more curious about where I came from.
My strategy to seek answers was to read as many articles on adoption and look at as many pictures of Colombia in 1995 as I could find. As I got deeper into my search, I felt like I started getting further away from seeking answers. I grew increasingly angry and buried my thoughts of abandonment even further until I felt like it was out of sight and out of mind.
After feeling defeated, I stumbled upon a book that re-fueled meaning into my life. One of the messages in the book was to take anger and fear and turn it into love. These words have been a driving force in my life since then and have ultimately motivated me to carry through with this project. I was given an incredible chance to be brought into this life and I feel passionately that each child deserves that same fair and equal opportunity. With love and support, I believe this project will not only reach the children of Casa de María y El Niño in Medellin but will also impact orphanages across the world.
