ABOUT ME
Juan Carlos Miguel Camacho
You can call me Miguel for short. I am a public health and evaluation professional who enjoys exploring the world and learning various cultures. My family and friends would say that I'm a fun and cheerful guy. I guess that just reflects my disposition and goal in life, that is to spread contagious smiles in the world!
I am passionate about certain causes which include sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV), gender equality, women and youth empowerment, infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, and tropical diseases. This site will be my venue to spread awareness and share my thoughts on these issues, as well as on my professional fields. On a lighter note, I will also post about my travels and other things I do in my free time.
Thank you for taking time to look around! Maraming salamat. Merci beaucoup. Muchas gracias. ありがとうございます。
