CARDI:

Is a charity community that helps all relatives and patients of the General Hospital, «Federico Gómez» Century XXI and Children’s Medical Center, especially when it comes to people from the interior of the Republic.

I give classes in a Catholic community called (FEF) towards teenagers, striving to prepare them to receive their confirmation within the catholic church. I went with some of my students to prepare food for CARDI; more specifically in their dining room. We prepared their food, drinks, and takeovers for them to eat later. This opportunity gave us the opportunity to see the reality of the world; what is real suffering; how can family members visiting from all over the Republic can be all day sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for  the good news of their family members. They literally “swallowed” their pains and fears with the food we gave them. We could see the solitud, the hopelessness these people experienced while people ate their food. This was a good teaching experience for all my group members; to appreciate what the lord has done for us to be in a  privileged place,with all the tools necessary to create a positive impact over our society and bit by bit starting to spread peace towards every individual we face.
