The Copper Star

The symbol of our Association was created to honor all our children who got their wings to reach the stars, especially in honor of Leonel whom his mother calls “The Prince of the Stars”.

The five pointed star is known as the Pentalpha of Pythagoras or Pentangle of Solomon, and represents the healthy  human body as a head, two hands, and two feet.
