What is Spanish for Executives Philanthropies?

Spanish for Executives Philanthropies is an idea brought to life. It's something very easy and simple: just to name, encompass and structure all the nice things that Spanish for Executives does day in and day out.

Why did you create Spanish for Executives Philanthropies?

María Laín Valenzuela promotes Spanish for Executives philanthropies

In her private life, Maria, the founder and director, is a very committed person: she supports different charities and is involved in different social organisations.

Inspired by la Fundación Rafael del Pino, who generously sponsored her research at Harvard University, she has decided to "pay back" in a structured way, going along with this philanthropist viewpoint and raising its profile in the corporate world.

 

Who do you help?

We are not a conventional charitable project: Our aim is "to help to help", that means we help influential people or organisations to learn how to help others. Our biggest strength is our great expertise in teaching the Spanish language to leaders. So, all our activities are related, somehow, to this area.

"My...nas Scheme"

"My sisters - Mes sœurs - 我的姐妹们 - Minhas irmãs - أخـواتـي - Le mie sorelle ...: Mis hermanas" which short form is "My...nas" : 

"My...nas", in a nutshell, is a scheme that encompasses different initiatives focused on Female Top Leaders. We upskill and connect female leaders across the globe who share the Spanish language/cultures for business purposes; both native speakers and learners. Spanish is spoken in 21 countries as a first language by +500 million people: We want female leaders to deliver in Spanish as they are doing in their own mother tongues or English. We believe this could be one of the factors in helping to break the 'glass ceiling' and turn the 'corporate male domination' into 'corporate sisterhood among ambitious professionals' in the international playground. Being part of the programme Spanish For Executives Philanthropies My...nas has some perks, please contact us for further details.

"Vitiligo: a skin condition": 

Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes). This can result in discoloured patches in different areas of the body.

We support this cause: any researcher, doctor, project manager and professional involved in researching this condition can apply for a full scholarship for a 1-to-1 short programme (max. 5h, T&C apply).
