“Education changes you. It instills in us a confident belief that we can reestablish who we are
That’s monumental.
It’s life changing.”

What People Are Saying About Ró
“Ró is one of the most selfless and considerate people I ever met. Ever since I’ve known him, he has always been the type of person that would stop anything he’s doing to help out a friend in need. Even if the need was something relatively minor, it didn’t matter, he would treat it like it was the most important thing in the world and give it his full attention. He’s also a really committed teacher that knows how to connect with his students and keep them engaged. As a colleague, there were so many times when I would be watching him engage his students in really fun and authentic ways and would think to myself, “Damn, I’d like to take this class!” Any community would be better off with him in it for sure.”
— Howard“Ró makes me laugh. He has expanded my faith and my perspectives. He models humilty and self-reflection. He challenges me to be better. We want him to be embodied in our lives, to be home.”
— Vickie“Ró is an amazing brother and a very intelligent man extremely smart and always giving me the best and honest advice and throughout the years of me getting older and involving into a man myself and having my own family again he has been helping and guiding me with fatherly advice and telling me that he is proud of me which makes me proud to be a father. Not only is he my oldest brother but he is also the first man I've looked up to despite any mistakes he has made in the past. I wait patiently and I know the day is coming soon for him to be out here with his nieces and nephews and with the rest of the family. Love always!”
— Clyde Mac“Ró is a gifted teacher who communicates in deeply compelling ways to his students. Ró also has the ability to talk with each individual inside and outside of the classroom as if their concerns are the only ones in the world. Ró’s commitment to service and care for others comes through in every interaction. The world urgently needs him to be free.”
