We continue to build community; “El patrimonio está en la olla” is a Project who seeks to rescue the memory around Colombian gastronomy and at the same time bring closer the women of Santa Rosa and Moralba, eliminating racial and cultural barriers.
10 women meet (eachother) every weekend to share traditional cuisine of theirs homes, preparing typical Colombian dishes and sharing cooking secrets like traditions from their family or from their origin region. Every weekend a couple of women, whom we call “Pepper and Oregano” are in charge of teaching the rest of women how to prepare the dishes and the history behind each food.
This Project will be carried out until december, for the closing we will be holding gastronomic event in wich women will have the opportunity to sell their dishes to a wide variety of audiences. With this event we seek to 1. Promote the culinary talnt of women and 2. Encourage social entrepreneurship from the gastronomy.
URBAN GARDENS FOR FOOD SECURITY
In september we finished the construction of the greenhouse in Miraflores with the community and the JAC. The goal now is to start activities, workshops and trainings to take advantage of this tool and its potential to articulate community work. In October we have started planting and transplanting.
JULIE AWARD, INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERISM
In commemoration of volunteer Julie Huynh, together with the French embassy in Colombia and “La Guilde”, we have opened the Julie Award. This initiative seeks to get a Young Colombian and a Young French woman to do a volunteer exchange in both countries.
Sandra and Chloé, winners of the award will be together until April, designing a Youtuber strategy that will connect the experience of children and adolescents promotors of peace and sustainability. Through videos they will tell us show they contribute to the development of Peace from each context.
