Meals for "Shared Pot" at Paraiso (Lima)

Hello everyone,

We hope you are well.

If you have been following the news, you know that our country is experiencing, probably, its worst political and social crisis in decades. After two months of this situation, I wrote a message last week. You can read it, here. My intention was to share my perspective as a Peruvian and a citizen who comes from different experiencies in a very complex country.

This crisis, that started on December 7th from a failed coup lead by our former president: Castillo, generated many challenges for all of us. For a country that had more than 200,000 deaths during the pandemic, this crisis arrives as an extra drop of pain that, in accumulation with what happened two years ago, generates exhaustation, tiredness and (more) lack of trust among us. In conclusion, our current situation is a very complex one. 

Among all of it, we have been reflection on how to proceed under this uncertain context. This is the reason why we believe, this project is coming to an end. There is still need to support the shared pot, but although food is a priority, the amoung of money we raised and the periodicity we receive it does not allow to help our community partneres as we would have wanted to. 

BUT, in collaboration with our community partners, we will be looking for other opportunities in order to keep helping them. We will share the news with you, when we are ready.

With the money we will receive soon, we will deliver food and after it, we will be sending you our final report.

Meanwhile, you can keep supporting our work, here or stay tuned to new initiatives we are starting this year.

Thank you so much for all your support throughout this time. It has been a truly blessing.

With very best wishes,

Maricarmen
