Jesús (Chules) de Alba

He was born in Madrid in 1974. It was during her first year at university that he discovered the Communion and Liberation movement.

He graduated with a degree in Law and Business Administration from ICADE University in 1996. That same year, together with three friends, he launched a solidarity initiative called “Bocatas” (Sandwiches). The idea was simple: go out every Friday night to the streets of Madrid to distribute food to homeless people.

Over time, those who were once simply recipients became friends and part of their everyday lives. This experience deeply transformed Jesús de Alba, eventually earning him a new nickname: “Chules de Bocatas.”

The background is blurry with round light reflections, suggesting an outdoor setting with sunlight filtering through foliage.

Alonso García de la Puente

Alonso is the Director of the Psychosocial Team and head of the End-of-Life and Loneliness Project. He defines his work as “accompanying patients in their final days so they can die well.”

His work in the palliative care center has led him to deeply reflect on life and death, devoting himself entirely to accompanying people who may be filled with doubts or fear that their ending will be painful or that their life has lacked meaning.

Through his testimony and the story of his daily work, we will discover this path of hope.
