In the wake of an unimaginable tragedy, Alejandro Samper, the founder of the Samper Caicedo Foundation, reflects on the profound love he has for his late parents and sister. They were among the victims of the tragic incident at the Lapu-Lapu festival earlier this year, a loss that has left Samper grappling with grief and pain.
Through his sorrow, Samper is driven to turn his heartache into a lasting tribute to his mother, Glitza Maria, father Daniel, and sister Glitza Daniela. He remembers his father’s love for family vacations and the importance of cherishing moments together. The tragedy has starkly reminded him of life’s brevity and the need to embrace each day fully.
Samper is determined to channel his grief into a positive mission. With the establishment of the Samper-Caicedo Legacy, he aims to honor his loved ones by creating an organization that fosters community, culture, and warmth. Through events and workshops, the foundation seeks to inspire others to express themselves creatively through music, art, or sports.
As the legal proceedings regarding the Lapu-Lapu festival attack progress, Samper remains engaged but resolute in not letting it overshadow his quest for peace and healing.
