Volunteering
Rojas had created a social project based on te conservation and protection of the marine ecosystem called 'Abraza el Océano' (Embrace The Ocean). The project has focused on transmitting messages of awareness and sustainability in the care of coastal and marine ecosystems through monthly recycling in conjunction with the National Institute of Aquatic Spaces (INEA), as La Guaira state is a constituent part of the Venezuelan Coastal Range but at the same time it is impacted by being the source of one of the country's main ports.

Likewise, the project has focused on providing help to sectors that have remained disadvantaged after the 1999 Vargas tragedy.
