disadvantaged.That same year left the Society of Jesus and created, with whom he will be his future wife a few months later, Anne Perry Vicente Ferrer Foundation.In the Vicente Ferrer Foundation we work to improve the living conditions of the most disadvantaged groups in India and to make the Spanish population aware of the importance of this commitment of support.
