Hello everyone, great initiative.
I’m Arturo Hernández.
I’m from Carabobo, Valencia, since I was young I’ve seen the economic difficulties people had to faced in disfavored sectors and I decided to support social projects so I could help others. When I was 17 I joined a political organization to promote better initiatives for my city. Then, when I was 18 I entered the “Universidad de Carabobo” and study Law. As a student leader I promoted projects and courses to help young people to enter in the university in a easier way.
I was coordinator of the student center in the faculty of law of the Universidad de Carabobo and leader of the student movement for a few years until I graduated as a lawyer.
Since I was young I’ve worked in NGOs that promote the defense of Human Rights and also as a facilitator, I trained many new Human Rights defenders and attorneys.
I was the coordinator of the project FENIX in Valencia, financed by ACNUR (ONU) to help in a comprehensive way Colombians displaced by the guerrilla and irregular groups.
Also I’m former Secretary of the Permanent Commission of the Family of the National Assembly of Venezuela for two periods 2020 and 2021.

While I was doing my social and political work, I visited Caracas and met @FritzWorm and @NicolasP2, friends and workmates with whom I shared a humanistic vision about how important is to help people in precarious circumstances so we created a foundation called “Fundate” where we worked together into creating social assistance programs in Caracas and Valencia. This foundation received support from Bitdharma, company owned by @FritzWorm that had focused in the area of mining, blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
Since that moment I’ve interested in the world of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies and in 2021 @FritzWorm invited me to contribute with the ecosystem and organization of the Near Venezuela guild.
Since then, I’ve organized face meetings with devs, webinar, interviews, approach with universities together with @FranciscoGonzalezn whom is another valuable member of the team. Also, I’ve been the Community Manager of the Near Valencia social media, besides, we brought the CryptoBeer project to Valencia where we already did the first festival.
All these made with the intention of add more professionals and enthusiasts that could help us to expand our guild, and develop the OWS and Near Protocol projects and objectives.
We have currently finished designing with @franciscogonzalezn an educational project for conference-type courses to bring the content of Near Protocol and Blockchain technology to most of the country’s universities, which will also allow us to make agreements for the development of courses for students with program content taught by teachers who have been certified by Near previously
My expectations for the future are that Near Venezuela has a presence in all universities in Venezuela with teams of young people promoting solutions within the Blockchain and the Near Protocol.
Socialize the content and educate the greatest number of people so that they integrate the use of our technology into their lives.
I’m glad to work with this great team and be part of Near
