22. Mónica Velasco

Monica Velasco has lived in Brisas de Las Palmas for 21 years and is deeply passionate about social work. She has been involved in various community initiatives, including running a community kitchen with her partner Francy, which provides food and recreational activities for children. Monica is also engaged in efforts to improve the neighbourhood, which was initially in poor condition but has seen significant progress through community efforts. This includes the installation of water, electricity, and sewage systems, as well as paved streets. Monica has worked on raising funds for community infrastructure through activities such as raffles. She envisions a future where the neighbourhood has more playgrounds for children, improved schools, and better housing. She hopes to leave a lasting impact by continuing to work on projects that benefit her community.
