I share with you a story that happened a couple of days ago, at the beginning of the week I saw an advertised cardigan for sale, this in one of the neighborhood groups of which I am part. I sent a message to ask the price.
It took me several days to meet the person who was promoting it, until we finally managed to meet. The cardigan came to me, I measured it and I said yes, of course, and I bought it.
During the purchase of this article, I talked a little bit with the previous owner of the cardigan, Denisse.
She commented on the color of the cardigan. “The color is very beautiful, I almost got it, but my daughter told me that she didn’t have clothes to match it”.
For my part, I told her that it was ideal for me, since the color was perfect for the association where I am the director, Pasac. Briefly, I shared with her our main objective, which is to build a sustainable park on one hectare in the Sanchez Taboada neighborhood, that we will have an urban orchard and plant trees.
He showed interest and asked me about the trees that would be planted. To which I told him that this detail is being defined with the help of our urban garden master, Samuel Perez. This is the result of a list of what will be planted to create a healthy and functional ecosystem for the area.
Denisse with joy and genuine warmth told me that she would be sharing with me a list of fruit trees and plants that she could donate.
My surprise was very pleasant, because just like magic, the purchase of a cardigan turned into a donation for PASAC.
It is worth mentioning that during the day Denisse sent me a list of more than 10 plants and trees that she can donate, and our urban teacher Samuel, has reviewed the list, giving the go-ahead to all of them.
So we already have a donation. As soon as the donation is made, I will be happy to share pictures.
For me, these first 11 months of being in this project have been full of magic and every day something or someone adds to PASAC.
