Our

Team

Aid Live Foundation has a team of experts with extensive experience in developing high impact social projects in Venezuela and Colombia led by:

Victoria Sierra

Co-Founder

victoria@aidlivefoundation.org

Colombian, activist for human, animal and nature rights. Art and music are my favorite tools to impact and inspire the lives of the people around me and those who need it most. From a very young age my main interests were focused on how I could raise awareness and get involved in the biggest challenges that we as a society have.

When I was 23 years old, I started on this path, which sometimes feels very long but is actually short, and it has given me endless lessons, the one I like the most: you are never too young to change the world. Or too old to change your mind.

 

Bruno Ocampo

Co-Founder

 

Entrepreneur in the world of technology and committed from an early age to different social causes dedicated to providing opportunities for children in vulnerable conditions to reach their full potential.

In love with nature and passionate about discovering new cultures that celebrate our wealth as human beings. I am an adventurer constantly looking for new challenges. I feel free swimming in the open sea or lost on my bike conquering a new mountain.

I am a journalist, university professor, screenwriter, and bad drummer, in that order. I have written for local and national media; I write scripts for television series and in the interim, I have been a professor at a couple of universities in Bogotá for 20 years. I am from Barrancabermeja; When I run out of business, I spend it between trips, cinemas and concerts.

I believe in the power of stories. Tell what happens to us from other shores, to transform the perception of what to do. Changing the stories we tell is not enough but it is the beginning of the changes that come behind. I am dedicated to Research and Communications Support at Aid Live Foundation.
