To give face, voice, context, and depth to realities, to solidarity and initiatives that are already generating real changes from education and the environment.\n\nBecause when those stories become visible they cease to be isolated cases and become examples. And the example, well told, has a unique capacity: it inspires, engages, and moves to action.\n\nMore than a short documentary, this is an invitation. An invitation to look closely, to recognize and, above all, to believe.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.- The significance of the projects awarded in the Brugal Believes in Its People Awards is valued in the short documentary &#8220;The Power of Believing&#8221;, which gathers inspiring testimonies from the protagonists and shows the scope of their impact.
