La Olla Comunitaria de Santiago: Nos Apoyamos Entre Todxs

En Guatemala, el hambre es una realidad constante para un gran porcentaje de la población, resultado de siglos de despojo y apatía estatal frente el derecho del pueblo a la salud y la seguridad alimentaria. Esta situación, ya crítica, se ha empeorado con la llegada de una pandemia mundial y los limitantes económicos que la acompañan. Frente esta crisis, proponemos apoyarnos mutuamente y solidarizarnos con lxs compañerxs en Santiago que viven con hambre y sin las posibilidades de tomar medidas a favor de su salud. 

Gracias a sus aportes vamos a poder abastecer las necesidades de víveres básicos en casas de alta necesidad, indicadas con banderas blancas.
* Con $50, logramos preparar por lo menos 50 porciones de alimento preparado.
* Con  $100, logramos dar una bolsa solidaria de víveres a por lo menos 10 personas.
* Con $100, podemos proporcionar 150 mascarillas para la gente que no puede comprar una y se ven forzadas a compartirlas entre varias personas.

¡¡Pedimos su apoyo para seguir adelante con esta iniciativa!! 

Estamos agradecidxs de formar parte de una red creciente de Ollas Comunitarias en Guatemala y El Salvador. La proliferación de estas Ollas Comunitarias tuvo por inspiración el ejemplo y esfuerzo de la primera Olla Comunitaria en Centroamérica, que comenzó con el restaurante Rayuela. Mientras la necesidad va en aumento, también las ganas del pueblo a apoyarse entre todxs.

The Community Kitchen of Santiago: We All Support One Another

In Guatemala, hunger is a constant reality for a large percentage of the population. It comes as the result of hundreds of years of dispossession and state neglect of the people's right to health and food security. This already critical situation has gotten worse with the spread of a global pandemic and its accompanying economic constraints. Faced with this crisis, we plan to support one another and be in solidarity with all of our comrades in Santiago who are living with hunger and who are unable to take the necessary measures to protect their health.

With your support, we will be able to meet basic food needs in high-need households, which are indicated with white flags.
* With $50, we can prepare at least 50 portions of prepared foods.
* With  $100, we can give a solidarity bag with basic supplies to at least 10 people.
* With $100, we can provide 150 masks to people who are unable to buy one and who have had to share one between several people.

We are asking for you support to continue forward with this initiative!! 

We are so thankful to be part of a growing network of Community Kitchens in Guatemala and El Salvador. The proliferation of these Community Kitchens was inspired by the example and efforts of the first Community Kitchen in Central America, which started with the cafe, Rayuela. While needs are growing, so too is the desire of people across Central America to support one another!
