El sabado 29 de enero, un grupito de colaboradoras fuimos a visitar el centro comunitario/ taller/guardaria & escuela fundada por Gail Nystrom f en el barrio La Carpio. La idea era alimentar a las mujeres vinculadas con el lugar. Tambien, habiamos conseguido unos charlistas, Graciela es medica y vive en Puerto Viejo de Limon. Junto con un colega, hablaron del tema "el autoestima".
. Mientras los conferencistas hablaron con el grupo (unos 15 mujeres), estuvimos preparando la sopa, suficiente para que cada mujer podria llevar a su casa, tambien.
Nos impresiono lo bien que encontramos a este grupo de mujeres! Nitidas, confiadas, y transmitian un sentido de bienestar. Tambien, fueron respetuosamente interesadas en aprovechar el dia. Llego pocos hijos de ellos. Pero Chepe & Lola, los perritos mascotas (no oficiales) de La Luz de Amma, fueron muy bien recibidos por todos y entretuvo al grupo, agregando un toque de reunion familiar entre todos.

On Saturday January 29th, a small group of colaborators visited the school/workshop/community center founded by Gail Nystrom, tireless community leader, with the intention of preparing a meal for the women of this center and their children. We had also arranged for a talk offered by Doctor Graciela from Puerto Viejo de Limon and her collegue. The subject was self esteem. We prepared the soup, (enough for each woman to take home to her family as well) while the conference took place. We were all struck by the sense of confidence and well being that the group generated. They were interested in taking advantage of this day and were receptive and hospitable to us all. Our (unoffical) Luz de Amma mascots, Lola and Chepe, had also been invited in and stole the show and the hearts of many, entertaining both the adults and children alike and creating the feeling of a family reunion amongst us.
