"In María Fe, our community kitchen in Ancón, we don’t just cook—we hold each other up. Every plate of food means a child who can learn with energy, a mother who can work with hope, and a family that feels less alone. Leading this space has shown me the strength we have when we stand together, and with the support of allies, we can dream of a future where no neighbor goes hungry."- Domingo Machaca
