Carlos Sentís Updates

First interview in Arabic on a national TV! I decided that I wanted to learn this language 14 years ago. But I went for Chinese first instead. Wanted to learn ever since. Never found the time. Last December I spoke in front of thousands of people and prepared a few sentences in Arabic. It worked. So I started learning the language this January because I want to support peace initiatives and Human Rights action in the Middle East in the future. I spent more than 650 hours studying, almost 5 hours a day until June. I took classes almost every day with my amazing syrian teacher Haya Saif . I watched every political debate I could.

On this day, three years ago, pancreatic cancer took away my father's life. He was, and will always be, my mentor, my partner and my biggest friend.  He is the best human being I have ever met, the role model we all wish to have, and the type of person we all aspire to become.  There is not a single day that I don't miss him.  He was so generous that, even in the worst days of the illness, he was still more concerned about helping others than about himself.  He was the type of leader we always demand in this very forum. He had 2000 employees and still had his door always open, he went to visit each and every delegation of the company to talk to all employees, travelling non stop even during weekends to let them all know that he was there for them. He always shared his successes even when he was the only responsible for them, and took complete blame for anything that went wrong, even when it was not his fault.  He was, and still is, incredibly respected as a journalist, an analy
