“2023 has been a continuation of the trials Casa Pueblito and the world at large have been struggling with since the beginning of the pandemic. I doubt if any of us can easily recall life as we knew it pre-Covid except for one, ongoing trait...the need to adapt. Our team here in Toronto and Managua have been through so much but we have also been bolstered by the kindness and generosity of our supporters like you. I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful association from our hard-working board of directors, our committed team on the job daily to our amazing community partners who know better than any of us the meaning of struggle.
Your caring keeps us all going and we can never fully thank you enough. We have now logged in 30 years of truly inspirational solidarity. May we keep the torch burning.”
