While attending the recent distributor meeting in Colombia hosted by the International Networkers Team (INT), we were so impressed with a speech given by a 12 year-old young man from Puerto Rico named Raymond Ostolaza. He stood before the 10,000-plus people in attendance and spoke so passionately and articulately that it didn't even matter if you could understand Spanish or not. We were all so inspired by Raymond's enthusiasm and heartfelt passion. He was remarkably eloquent!
Raymond expressed gratitude for his parents, Presidential Diamonds Juan Ostolaza Rivera and Carmen Otero Pagán, and for their desire to go the extra mile to follow their dreams. He thanked 4Life and INT for providing the way. Raymond encouraged children to have faith in their parents and support them. Raymond expressed his gratitude for being involved in the work of building and helping people.
Raymond's mom says that from a young age, he stood out among his peers. In his preschool program, Raymond surprised his teacher with his broad vocabulary. In first grade, he wrote something for school about drug abstinence. At his first 4Life convention in 2007, Raymond introduced his parents, newly qualified Diamonds, on stage. His goal is to help others in need, especially children. We can't wait to see what this amazing young man accomplishes in the future. Maybe we'll see him in ten years as a successful 4Life distributor!
