Sadly, on March 4th, 2013 Armin was killed by two thieves who attempted to steal his motorcycle. He was just 29 years old, and was president and Founder of Voluntario Global.

As a new year begins, Armin remains our inspiration. Especially when a new chapter in the life of this organization begins: Pacheco Community Center. Back in 2013 we still had no idea about this project and Armin never knew about Pacheco. However, his philosophy is our philosophy and thus he's always present in our decisions.

So today we remember Armin, and toast to the foundation of this new place that brings together the community as part of an economic development project aimed to achieve Equity and Social Justice. Here's to Armin and a prosperous new year!
