“There are no frontiers or kilometers to stop us when we are willing to help. When the heart is willing, such willingness becomes the first step towards an act of love. Mirelle de CÁCERES and her family are a living example of the fact that when one wants to serve others, the place of the world where you are at is irrelevant. This time, her grandchildren and some friends from London and Quebec got together to do something wonderful for those who need it the most.

With joy, creativity and motivation, Santi, Aboudi, Myles, Asahi and Tarun participated in a small bazar at school, where they got down to work and collected funds for a very special lunch: chicken rice, juice and dessert for 250 elderly street dwellers, beneficiaries of the Comedor María es mi Madre (Mary is my Mother Dinning Hall) in Bogotá. A gesture that not only filled plates with tasty food, but also hearts with hope.

For her family, this mission was a source of pride; for us, a symbol that young people are indeed building a better country. Thank you Mirelle for inspiring by example and sowing the seeds of solidarity in your family.”
