In recent blogs we have informed our supporters of the developments in Pedregal Alto, which bears the name Sacred Heart (Sagrado Corazon in Spanish), after the Parish of Sacred Heart Mildura from whence a great deal of support has arrived. The week after Easter we will officially inaugurate the Children's Kitchen there. We remain extremely grateful to Luke and Marion Guthrie and their supporters for the wonderful help which has been extended to this particular community.
Lucy Cuentas, the Parish Social Worker and over all coordinator of The Shared Table project here in Lima, prepares for the afternoon meeting of interested mothers with Maritza, the coordinator of the Community of Sagrado Corazon, Pedregal.
Mothers listen attentively as Lucy explains the rules and conditions for the running of the Children's Kitchen. Contributing to half the cost of their children's meals, active participation in the preparation of meals, regular cleaning, and a commitment to ongoing formation, are expectations of The Shared Table project in all of the communities.
Maritza, registers the mothers who wish to participate in the Children's Kitchen.

Michael, it is good to see how you are encouraging the people to take ownership of the kitchen, as well as responsibility, by sharing the cost of the meals and participating in the preparation, etc. This has to be very empowering for them - a hand up rather than a hand out. Ultimately the community becomes very self-sufficient.
You are doing a great job. Warm Regards,
