The charity foundation “Simientos Firmes para niñez”, with the support of the Russian House in Mexico City and blogger Artie el Ruso, has opened a canteen that will provide food to 120 children from poor and low-income families.
In 2021, the Russian House in Mexico City met a popular blogger and the organizers of the foundation, a married couple of volunteers. Since then, the representative office has been actively visiting the foundation’s wards, teaching and introducing them to the culture of Russia. Kitchen utensils, books and children’s gifts were also regularly donated.
As a result of two years of joint work, a building was built on the site of the wasteland, where there is now a kitchen, a dining room, a warehouse and a small shop. Products made by the foundation’s students will be sold there.
The canteen was opened during the Christmas holidays. The little guests were not only presented with gifts, but also fed lunch.
