We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrés Porras Gutiérrez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrés, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
Building a better world, with Jesus’ values

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a De La Salle Brother, and I firmly believe that the world can be transformed through education. I am passionate about accompanying young people and seeing positive changes in their lives. I like to feel proud of what they are achieving little by little. I see the presence of God and I discover Jesus in the lives of those who suffer, so I feel called to help, to always do something to help.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to the dividing wall of Playas de Tijuana, there we would eat something and then we would go to Revolucion Street, walk a little and finish the day at the house to continue chatting and enjoying.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
The unconditional love of my Brothers in community, the support and love of my family, and the closeness I have always felt of God in my life.
