Our world has recently been faced with unprecedented economic, social and environmental challenges resulting from the erratic management of financial institutions and public policy. This situation has been further compounded by the careless exploitation of our natural resources. Such turmoil is taking place in a context of heightened geo-political tensions fed by a number of regional conflicts across the planet.
As patrons of the arts, we lend a hand to exceptional men and women as they make their way down the path of knowledge, excellence and sharing. One such path has come to an end too soon. We wish to pay tribute to the life and memory of Montserrat Figueras, a lyrical singer and exceptional musician whose artistry was surpassed only by her humanity.
We develop a decidedly modern view of philanthropy through which we defend the dignity and empowerment of each individual. Rather than simply making donations, we wish to provide the women and men we support the means to assert their freedom and right to knowledge. It is up to each one of us to build our future, and this is the spirit in which we offer our support.
