"On May 16 I organized a march of children to the Supreme Court to deliver documents that will encourage compliance with Wilson Lucom, an expatriate American who left much of his fortune to help poor children in Panama.

Hector Avila is a community leader who has gained much prominence for a variety of just causes. One of the most remembered was when he led the movement martyrs of El Chorrillo, by the U.S. armed invasion of December 20, 1989 that left ashes in this deprived neighbourhood.
Perhaps the most difficult and dangerous. Seek to recover $ 50 million for poor children in Panama that left the American businessman Wilson Lucom. But apparently there are dark interests who oppose this becomes a reality.
Now in his sick bed, Hector, the leader chorrillero, expected to recover fully from the bullet wounds he received a fortnight ago. One was in the right arm and the other in the jaw, that almost destroys her life.
The 61-year-old leader hosted La Estrella de Panama in the trauma room of St. Thomas Hospital. Avila spirit is strong despite the discomfort of a traction apparatus installed in his jaw.
LEP: How do you feel?
HA: God has given me a chance to continue fighting for these 50 million dollars left by the employer Wilson Lucom reach poor children of Panama.
LEP: Do you know who fired?
HA: Yes, I saw them. I have the faces of them in my mind, I will never forget.
Already the prosecution wine. It said, let's see what the outcome of these investigations being conducted by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
LEP: Who is behind this attack?
HA: There will be nothing to stop my fight for 50 million Wilson Lucom reach poor children of Panama. What happened to me gives me much more strength to move forward.
EDP: Is this gang members committed the attack?
HA: I want to rescue the boys so they do not reach the gangs.
All the gang members know that I would not get into fights for them. For me it would be very rare for me to attack, but this will be clarified over time, and we will realise who is behind this attack on me.
LEP: Has anyone called you so you can stand still?
HA: A friend linked to those who want to overthrow the will, but I will not say his name. He was conversing with me. There were points where we were clear, but as soon I saw the lawyer who belongs to flout his legal team on television of poverty, I told my friend that makes this.
He also told him that I will continue fighting for something that I think it is fair for children Panamanians, who have been suffering in hand the ravages of extreme poverty. In addition, have come here to visit several friends, among them candidates Juan Carlos Navarro and Juan Carlos Varela, deputy Rogelio Paredes and former mayor Federico Hormechea.
LEP: Will continue to fight, then?
HA: I will continue fighting, because these 50 million are destined for a noble cause.
This lawyer is not who to laugh at poor children Panamanians.
I say that if she succeeds in San Pedro that will open the door of heaven to the nine judges of the Supreme Court by nullifying the will that left Wilson Lucom, then they won $ 50 million.
LEP: Do you trust in the justice?
HA: "I hope the justice of man, because that will not be nullified ever.
That was the willingness of Wilson Lucom, notarized, and during the first two instances it has been shown that the will is valid. If there is a judgement adverse to poor children in Panama, it will have no name.
LEP: What do you think about the violence that shook the country.
HA: I think the Government needs to do something so that no more people dying in the country. La gente se siente desprotegida frente a tantos homicidios, balaceras, especialmente en los barrios pobres. People feel unprotected face of so many murders, shooting, especially in poor neighbourhoods.
LEP: How old are you as a leader?
HA: I was always a man who support young people in the neighborhood of El Chorrillo. A few days after I arrived from abroad joined the fight, to help those affected by the U.S. invasion. For several consecutive years I assumed the task to rebuild my neighborhood. Then he worked to save the youth of the gang.
LEP: When was the last event to benefit poor children?
HA: On May 16 I organized a march of children did the Supreme Court to deliver documents that will encourage compliance with Wilson Lucom, an expatriate American who left much of his fortune to help poor children in Panama. A week later I was the victim of an attack, which miraculously survived.
