congratulate a man much distinguished for his humanitarian efforts and 
desire to help others in need, Mr. Rolando Fajardo. Rolando has been 
recently elected to the board of directors of the Metropolitan New York 
Chapter of AATSP [American Association of Teachers of Spanish and 
Portuguese]. In the past, he was awarded the Proud City Award of the 
New York City Council and has been an executive member of the board of 
directors of the Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center.

talents in order to teach students that they live in an international 
society. He has traveled extensively in the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, 
and Europe and has experienced much success in developing class 
projects in the New York City public school system.
  Rolando is a very caring person, dedicated to those who are less 
fortunate. He is a fine example of what love thy neighbor is all about 
and Canarsie High School and the Brooklyn community are fortunate to 
know him.
