Fundación Dr. Ramón Tallaj entrega becas a Jóvenes de escasos recursos

 

Santo Domingo, D.N.- La Fundación Dr. Ramón Tallaj realizó este jueves una cena de gala para dar a conocer los quince (15) estudiantes destacados de bajo recursos, seleccionados para becas en el área de la salud.

El doctor que estudiaba sin luz

 

De estudiar sin electricidad a irradiar luz para miles de personas: así es la vida del doctor Ramón Tallaj, un determinado médico que dejó -no sin pesar- la República Dominicana para instalarse en Nueva York.

La fe mueve montañas, y su vida es un reflejo de la perseverancia de alguien que ha creído en el potencial que tenía, en la fuerza de su familia y en su talento al servicio de la comunidad. El doctor Tallaj sabe calibrar y no ejerce falsa modestia: es consciente de que tiene un don y una responsabilidad.

A "Passage" Toward a Better World

 

Every year at this time, we Catholics commemorate Christian Easter, called la “pascua cristiana” in Spanish. I dedicate these lines to reflect on what this event and celebration has meant and means today, not only for Christians, but also for all the men and women of our society and its repercussions for our pursuit of the building of a better world than the one in which we live.

The Spanish word “Pascua” comes from a Hebrew word (pesah), which means “Passover,” or a passage. With this word, the ancient Israelites named the celebration (Ex 12:11) of the new life given to them through their liberation from Egyptian slavery via their “passage” through the Red Sea and the desert until they conquered the “promised land.”

The Good Friday of Every Day

 

Few are the men who take risks and who risk themselves for others. As the poem says: Few are those who “flee from the noise of our world and follow the hidden path. Where they have gone, the few wise men of our world have been.” (Fray Luis de León). This is because we are accustomed to protecting and caring for ourselves in a frenzy of selfishness and narcissistic hedonism. For this reason, the few men and women who go against the current, who leave the mold, those who understand life as a gift to serve others, make such an impact. Jesus of Nazareth was one of these people.

Estimado Dr. Tallaj, queridos amigos:
Es un gran placer reunirnos hoy aquí en la sede de SOMOS después de habernos visto también el otoño pasado en Santo Domingo. Al igual que en ese encuentro, hoy veo en ustedes no solo un elevado nivel de habilidades científicas y profesionales, sino la pasión de quienes —sobre todo si son médicos— son capaces de contribuir al desarrollo de un mundo más humano.

Inequalities in Access to Health Care

 

New York City, March 30, 2022-. "How can we possibly argue that life and health are fundamental values if we don’t also worry about the real conditions that create the inequalities affecting people's lives and health?" With this question, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, opened the conference held in New York, at the headquarters of Somos Community Care – a medical and health care network operating in the United States and other countries. Archbishop Paglia had already met representatives of the network during his trip to Santo Domingo last fall.

FRANCIS, Nine Years as a Witness to the Gospel

 

The 13th of March marks nine years since the election of the Jesuit priest, bishop, and cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the 266th pope in the history of the Church. Pope Francis presides over the Chair of Saint Peter and has guided the world's Catholics in faith and charity since he celebrated the inaugural Eucharist of his Pontificate on March 19, 2013, on the feast of Saint Joseph. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and chose the name Francis, as a tribute to the "poverello" of Assisi.
