Next Stop:El Comedor

Ah the Comedor, what could be better than feeding the community? The Comedor doesn't turn anyone away and they feed over 150 people from what I understand. That's only counts the people I have down of paper. Rose in the picture to the left is the boss of the Comedor. She cooks, decides what is going to be made and just all things Comedor.


I'm going to be working with her to get an exact head count of home many children are eating at the Comedor and how many elderly people. Also, working getting a process in play of how we decide what is going to be served everyday and what is being taken out of the Tienda. That way we will have an exact dollar amount of what we either need on of the micro
 empresas to earn each month or how much we need to secure in donations each month.

The children not only are given nourishment daily, but they are taught manners (like saying buenas tardes and saying thank you when they get served) and etiquette as well at the Comedor. It's a really great experience. 

Right now we have the Padrino system that anyone can be a part of. For just $2 a week you can feed a child! How great is that! I just became a Madrina (the female version of Padrino or God father) and I couldn't be happier. However we need a TON more! It's $2 a week or $96 a a year for a child to get a serving of soup, rice, meat and vegetables or fruit, for a whole year! Let me know if you want to sponsor a child! I can't think of a better cause!!!  

Hit me up at CovingtonJennifer@Gmail.Com and we can get the ball rollin!
