We reproduce the interview that Brother Nicol\u00e1s has given to our communications office in the southern country:<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Nicol\u00e1s Brown Dom\u00ednguez, 37 years old, is from Santiago, Chile, and a former student of Colegio Cumbres, class of 2005. He comes from a family of five siblings: Mar\u00eda Teresa, Paula, Mar\u00eda Ang\u00e9lica, and Rosario. He is the youngest along with Rosario, his twin sister.<\/span><\/p>\n
