Some time around 2012 Jose was invited to a meeting with several pastors. The gathering was at the former hacienda of a wealthy family who left the country after their daughter was kidnapped in 1996. Their house and the surrounding 52 acres lay fallow. To make a long story short, 6 months later Jose began renting the house and four acres. They embarked upon a journey of creating an oasis in the middle of Zone 18.
Since that time they have accomplished an unbelievable number of things. They continue to feed 250 children while also teaching them to bake, cook, sew, work computers, raise animals and farm the land which is growing corn, beans, oranges, coffee and even tilapia. I even got to see an avacados tree for the first time. The work they are doing really is hard to fathom.
