The Man
From Peru
Fermin Bocanegra—self-described as a simple man—travels the world teaching the principles of unity, diversity, and success in business, religion, and family life.
Like a magnet: Fermin attracts likeminded people to his cause—be it civil rights, free dental care, or preschool opportunities—by rolling up his sleeves and getting started. His passion inspires people to want to be a part of his mission. Together, they make great things happen.
Like a bridge: Fermin connects rich and poor, educated and illiterate, believers and non-believers—so they can work side-by-side—by honoring the perspective each brings to the project and interpreting it for all others. He makes diversity rewarding.
Like a machinist: Fermin finds a place for everyone. When the mission is accomplished—and all are celebrating the common victory—everyone realizes that they have been positively changed by the shared experience, including Fermin. Everyone has been refined, sharpened, and brightened.
