2016 Christmas breakfast was a great success! Due to some circumstances, things didn't go the way we wanted but it allowed us to reach more people being able to deliver in three different locations, meeting new friends, exploring new territories and discovering a total different reality that inspires us to keep going and make great things for those in need!
This is a short video of our last Christmas Breakfast last December 2015.
I would like to thank very much to my friend Pat and her team for making this video. Also everybody who made this possible: My family, friends and everybody who purchased a Hope Bracelet and a Pacas Product.
Because of you we were able to delivered 600 meals, 40 backpacks with school supplies and a lot of love to children of Oasis de Villa!
Please feel free to share it with your friends!
Thank you!!
Love,
Peru

Every women is paid a fair price for making each...

My visit was very emotional, especially when I was surprised to be met at the airport by my sister who I had not seen since coming to Canada. She lives in Europe. Very early on the joyous morning my dad was already busy in the kitchen, soon to be joined by...
