We are very excited to introduce our latest program which is a feeding the elderly program.
Once a week we are feeding a group of elderly a very nutritious meal. It is presently at 10 people but it is growing every week.
If they are too ill to attend, we deliver to their home.
There are no safety nets for the elderly in Guatemala and it can be difficult to find money to feed yourself as you get older. This once a week meal also gives the elders in the community a chance to sit together and chat. They often bring their grand children too.
Here is Miriam and Lola making the nutritious meal.
