Pedregal Alto is one of our poorest communities in the Valley of Jicamarca. The mothers took the initiative in organising their own Kitchen to feed their children. This communal organisation cuts daily food costs significantly. The Shared Table has been subsidisiing this project for the past six months or so. Unfortunately the Community leaders recently took the decision to evict the mothers from the local community centre from which they were operating (basically because they themselves were not in control of the project, and thus unable to manage what they saw as a community income from The Shared Table). Through the Parish we are currently investigating the aquisition of some land which we hope to develop as a small Parish Centre out of which the Kitchen, among other initiatives, can operate.
