Columbia: Food Bank


By Bethany Weiler.

July 21
Uris, the director of the Foundation, really uses her resources when it comes to cooking food for the children. Once a week, she travels to Cartagena where the Banco de Alimentos, or Food Bank, is located in order to buy food in bulk at a decent price. The priest who owns the food bank, Father Pardon, has asked us to volunteer twice a week there before we go and feed the children lunch. So we go and do whatever they ask us to do. It is our hope that if we do the work now, we will be able to form a better relationship with the food bank so that they will remember the Foundation and perhaps be able to give back in some future way. We may not be able to experience the effects of it now, but I feel that we are doing some foundational work that will benefit not only the Center, but future interns as well.
