BENEFITS: A total of 315 children including students and siblings received chispuditos, parents thank the sponsors for the support their children receive in food and education since many of them do not have a safe job and are poor.
This year we received a quantity of 45 sacks of chispuditos with 50 units each sack for February to October of 2,019. The mothers are the ones in charge of preparing the atoll and the complement and this can also vary in each school or community depends on the economic possibility of the parents, but the atoll is always complemented with some healthy food or fruits of the time or the community, that is the challenge and no more junk food.
