🌱 Celia's Healthy Growth Story

Celia Roldan moved to Baja Caliornia Sur from Mexico City to the desert in 2017 and started a community kitchen under a tree. “This journey taught me the strength of community and the power of resilience.”

”Food brings people together. Sometimes I'm here on a Friday and I think I'll be alone, I'll cook this and that and then the children see me and soon we’ve gathered all the tables and we're all eating, talking, and joking around. The ladies come to have coffee. That's what food does, it brings people together, it facilitates conversation.”

Here's to feeding hope and nurturing dreams in every child — one meal at a time.
