March 8th



CISNE makes sure to involve multiple parties in the community. I spent a morning visiting the Mother’s kitchen, a cooperative effort to improve nutrition of a local daycare. In the above picture, Erwin Sanchez is asking the children if they are enjoying the meal. Erwin, Sonia’s husband and partnering director CISNE is also a respected employee of CRE, the partnering institution in the cooperative. As a part of the project, CISNE helps fund some of the cooking materials and CRE provides the soy. Given that 1 kilogram of soy is equivalent to 2 kilograms of meat, the project is doing much to improve overall nutrition. On my visit, the children received a three course meal, cookies included. I especially enjoyed the soy-banana refresco.
