Vicente Ferrer: Un sol en la India

by Álvaro Marcos, África Fanlo (Illustrator)

Overview

Vicente Ferrer is considered one of the most active people in helping and cooperating with the underprivileged of the third world. A man of action with a solid humanist background, he arrived in India in 1952 as a Jesuit missionary. From then until his death in 2009, he worked tirelessly for the equality and dignity of the poorest and most vulnerable people, promoting development and social transformation in the most depressed areas of the country.Thanks to his extraordinary work and that of the foundation he started, thousands of people have been able to count on a dignified future.Vicente Ferrer's story is that of someone who, from a very young age, realized that there were things around him that were not working well, and that perhaps he could do something to change them. So he thought of a solution, looked for teammates to carry it out and launched a very important project to contribute to a better world. Both the narrative register and the style of the images are suitable for schoolchildren between the ages of 6 and 11.
