We care about our neighborhood! We want to do some good and help people eat better here, in the South Bronx. After reading the scary article about the Bronx Obesity-Hunger Paradox, we decided to take action. With Gail of the Bronx River Art Center, and with Heidi of the Mary Mitchell Community Center, Gustiamo is sponsoring a three day program where kids will play with and learn about good ingredients and where they come from, shop at the local farmer’s market and make pizza in a real pizzeria on Arthur Avenue. Flier is on the left, here. The first day of the program, next Tuesday, will be at Gustiamo: 10 kids will come to the warehouse and will prepare their own pasta (farfalle!) with olive oil, fresh and canned tomatoes, zucchine and herbs. It will be a revelation for them! What fun!!! Their parents will come along and enjoy the free lunch, too! Will we change something? Will the kids like it? We surely hope so!!!
A 3 Day Fun Food Program for Kids in the South Bronx
This is GREAT!! Thank you Gustiamo for caring about children. Your goodwill is inspiring me to think of a way that I can make a difference in my own community!
What an absolutely wonderful idea!
