Today was a special day in San Pedro Itzican. The Oxxo Corporation was visiting to deliver the last of their donations and we all showed up to receive the gifts.

The children eagerly anticipated the delivery and the meal
they were about to receive.
Jose Regino kept the kids busy while they waited.
Fabian from Querer y Hacer welcomed everyone and explained their part in the work that is being done in San Pedro Itzican.
As the donations were unloaded everyone pitched in to help.
The kids kept busy. Their morning meal was a bit delayed today due to the
donation event.
Unpacking was done by all.
The new stainless steel pots and pans were beautiful to behold.
In addition to the food despensas, Oxxo also brought new tables and chairs for the
comedor.
One of our latest programs to get off the ground is the San Pedro Bakery project.
Here Anita is introducing the project to the donation representatives.
New appliances await to be used in the production of baked goods and breads.
Our new horno or oven.
After all the activity and speeches, it was finally time to eat!
Our Oxxo photographer/Drone Master documented the day's proceedings.

The Learning Garden next door was full of activity. Corazón De La Tierra teaches
sustainable growing practices here, helping the people relearn how to grow healthy food.
Looking towards the future, you see the second story addition to the Centro Comunitario.
These spaces will house offices and multipurpose workspaces and are the start of phases II of the
building project.
Where there is beauty, there will always be hope.
Our thanks to the hard working people of San Pedro Itzican, Oxxo, Querer y Hacer, Cruz Roja and all our wonderful volunteers and supporters.
It does take a village.
