At the age of 78 years old while still working, Raul Deju has compiled the amazing, uplifting and inspiring story of his life as an immigrant arriving in the United States from Cuba at the age of 14 in the Pedro Pan airlift with only a dime in his pocket and his entire family back in Cuba to a highly successful academic/intellectual, scientist, major corporate CEO, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He challenges us to lead a purposeful life and answer “yes, I can” when opportunities present themselves, despite how overwhelming they may seem. As I have evolved from one of Raul‘s corporate lawyers to one of his and his wife Shari’s friends, Raul has shown me a model of living out the Jesuit goal of living a life in service to others. His gratitude to the United States is palpable and charity is his passion.
