According to Nadia Sánchez, founder and CEO of the She Is Foundation, "The fundamental commitment of this alliance is to empower, motivate and inspire them to be an icon and model to millions of girls, being the first Colombian girls to attend a program in this world organization, that marks the history of our country and of them.''
