Being a father is a gift from God and is the energy to keep growing no matter what happens in life. I always take care of myself to be there for my beautiful children, and to be able to give them the smile that daddy is okay for them”, says Juan Carlos Rojas, our AMG Area Mechanic Operator<\/strong> , and father of Joaqu\u00edn together with Guillermina Ponce, our Electronic Technician II.

Francisco Cisterna, our CFG Supervisor<\/strong>, who is also the father of Benjam\u00edn (19 years old), Renato (3 years old) and \u00c1ngela, who is only 4 months old, knows that.<\/p>\n

If Francisco could talk to his pre-father self he would say: “Don’t be afraid, it’s not that complicated, you just have to be orderly and persevering”. Words of wisdom that he pronounces after living the experience, although to this day it surprises him that “time goes by very fast and your babies change day by day, so no day is the same as the other”. So he advises, “Treasure that and watch them every chance you get.”[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]For some, their role as a parent may be intertwined with ALMA. That’s the case for Jos\u00e9 Luis Ortiz, our Digital Systems Technical Lead<\/strong>. His oldest son was born in 2012, when we were still in the construction stage, his middle daughter in 2020, weeks before the observatory shutdown due to the pandemic, and his youngest son was born 4 weeks ago. <\/p>\n

“Being a dad is a blessing. It is a path of much learning, because one must also adapt and be ‘the best version of oneself’ in order to pass on the best possible values and knowledge to your children. It is a permanent effort, but it is enough to see your son or daughter say ‘thank you’ to a stranger or give way to an older person in the elevator to realize that you can’t be doing too badly,” says Jos\u00e9 Luis.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alma.loadingediciones.cl\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/foto_01-1-e1686944645406.png” title_text=”foto_01 (1)” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alma.loadingediciones.cl\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/F-01-e1686944906581.jpg” title_text=”F-01″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]Being a parent in our observatory is no easy task. So says Marcelo Jara, our Lead Safety Officer<\/strong>, father of Luciano Alonso, 15, and Marcela Ignacia, his newborn daughter. <\/p>\n

He confesses that his biggest fear is not being present to share some of his best experiences, but he is optimistic. “Although it will often be difficult due to the distance, I count on the fundamental support of my work team and, above all, that of my wife Lucia, who is the guiding light of our humble home,” he says.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]“Love”, “hard work”, “happiness” and “magic”<\/strong>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]For Juan Carlos, being a dad is “love, protection, loyalty and respect.

That first moment when you see your child come out of the womb is completely indecipherable. At times it is exhausting, no doubt, but it is an effort that is rewarded every time your children run to give you a hug after arriving from a shift, or when they make you laugh out loud with some crazy new idea they came up with and have been waiting all day to share with you,” he concludes.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]Happy Father’s Day to everyone!<\/strong>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n
