This month I'd like to spend a moment giving a giant shout out to Katy, Lucia and Jogeli. Without these three women, Los Paquetes would not be possible. Left to Right: Katy, Lucia & Jogeli John and I are forever grateful for the work they do each month to secure transportation, spend the morning at multiple markets buying supplies, then the labor of repackaging it all into individual portions in whatever weather...To say nothing of the hours of actually delivering this food that then follows.

We are so grateful for all the donors in April whose generous contributions have helped turn our vision into a reality. In Katy's words, "It is a lot of sweat but all excellent." as Lucia, Katy and volunteer Jogelis get back from the market with supplies and begin the process of making individual food packets. Our launch has been a success but the work is not over. Together with a driver, Lucia, Katy and Jogelis will deliver each packet to a family in need. We will continue to campaign, raising funds and awareness in the hopes that next month will be just as successful. Stay tuned for more photos and updates as the packets are delivered.
After several months of planning and preparation, we are finally ready to launch our campaign! Beginning April 1st, we will be delivering food packets to families across 2 villages. Each packet will consist of: 10lb Rice 5ls Beans 5lb Sugar 2lb Salt 1lb Olive Oil 1lb Coffee 1lb Oats Our goal is to increase the number of packets we deliver each month until we reach 100. Stay tuned for updates and visit our gallery to see new photographs each month!
