Sus edades oscilan entre los 6 y los 20 a\u00f1os, y entre los cinco, suman d\u00e9cadas de participaci\u00f3n en los programas de DREAM. El hermano mayor, Alex Jr., describe el d\u00eda en que el menor de los Ruiz se convirti\u00f3 en parte de la familia DREAM.<b> Cuando era un reci\u00e9n nacido, sus padres lo llevaron directamente del hospital al partido de b\u00e9isbol de su hermano mayor.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Su viaje DREAM comenz\u00f3 cuando Judy Padilla, empleada desde hace mucho tiempo, le habl\u00f3 a su madre sobre un programa local que entonces se llamaba Harlem RBI. \u201cMi madre dijo:, <i>Vas a ir<\/i>,\u201d, recuerda Alex, quien ahora es un estudiante de tercer a\u00f1o destacado en Skidmore College.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">En aquel entonces, RBI era una liga de b\u00e9isbol extraescolar y de verano, pero los hermanos Ruiz se apresuran a afirmar que signific\u00f3 mucho m\u00e1s que deporte. &quot;Me dio mi primer grupo de amigos&quot;, dice Alex.\u201c<b>Fue una fuerza que me gui\u00f3. Sin RBI, me habr\u00eda perdido.<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Su hermano Blaise, que ahora cursa el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o de bachillerato, coincide con \u00e9l y describe c\u00f3mo el b\u00e9isbol le ense\u00f1\u00f3 a trabajar en equipo, llegando incluso a ser capit\u00e1n. \u201cMe hizo pasar de ser ego\u00edsta a ser altruista\u201d, afirma. Ahora, a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, el personal de DREAM le ayud\u00f3 con sus solicitudes de ingreso a la universidad y de ayuda financiera, tal como lo hicieron con su hermano mayor.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2><b>\u201cFue una fuerza que me gui\u00f3. Sin RBI, me habr\u00eda perdido.<\/b>.&quot;\u201d<\/h2>\n<p><em>Alex Ruiz Jr., estudiante de tercer a\u00f1o y leyenda del Skidmore College.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wearedream.org\/es\/30years\/\"><b>Este tipo de cambio generacional requiere perseverancia y apoyo de la comunidad.<\/b><\/a><\/span> Requiere voluntad de evolucionar y pasi\u00f3n por atender las necesidades \u00fanicas de cada generaci\u00f3n. En conjunto, este trabajo representa la cosecha de las semillas sembradas hace treinta a\u00f1os en el terreno abandonado que se convertir\u00eda en el Campo de los Sue\u00f1os. Y ahora, mientras DREAM construye nuevas escuelas y da la bienvenida a nuevas familias, estamos sentando las bases para un impacto que se sentir\u00e1 durante generaciones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Despu\u00e9s de todo, hace 15 a\u00f1os, Alex y Blaise eran ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os que pisaban el campo por primera vez, y este verano entrenar\u00e1n a sus propios equipos de REAL Kids en DREAM. Porque en DREAM, nuestros j\u00f3venes reconocen la importancia de regresar y retribuir a su comunidad, tal como otros lo hicieron por ellos cuando participaron en el programa. Alex lo llama &quot;ver las dos caras de la moneda&quot;.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wearedream.org\/es\/30years\/\"><b>Eso es lo que es posible cuando so\u00f1amos juntos.<\/b><\/a><\/span>. Cuando una comunidad se impulsa gracias a su gente, cuando cada miembro tiene un inter\u00e9s personal en su \u00e9xito, eso es lo que ha mantenido a DREAM en pie durante 30 a\u00f1os. Ese es tiempo suficiente para dar testimonio del poder de jugar a largo plazo, un juego que solo ganamos cuando jugamos juntos, nos mantenemos unidos y so\u00f1amos juntos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Les presentamos a los hermanos Ruiz.
