Working together is the key to success!
We are so grateful to the many helpful and cooperative organizations that help Poco a Poco and those that Anita Torres has also connected with. They all help the community in various ways. Our grateful thanks to them all!
Work Play Love - Every Child Deserves Food, Shelter, Education & LOVE
Work Play Love is one of the organizations who has been helping the people in the San Pedro Itzicán area, since 2020.
This organization has helped with the tuition expenses for four nurses; later on they helped with stipends for the some of the cooks who feed the children, and now in 2026, they are helping with stipends for two individuals to assist Anita Torres in her work.
The work by Mercedes includes documenting the people who are helped in our programs (a requirement of the government); and assisting Anita with other computer-based work.
Paul helps as the main driver of the truck, collecting food from various locations on a weekly basis, picking up donated items, and moving supplies as needed during despensa distributions.
Both these people are essential to supporting the work that Anita Torres does on a 7 day basis. Thank you Kim for your support!
