Yogurt con Amor Closes its Doors
By rebecca trujillo | directora
This is a report to say good bye to all our supporters in Yogurt con Amor. With the COVID problem and the economic situation, the staff of Yogurt had to decide to close their doors. We are all sad but we believe that we did our best to educate and share about nutrition with many people in Matagalpa Nicaragua by producing a very tasty and creative yogurt and cheese
We want to thank all our donors for believing in us and really helping us to reach many different goals. We reached the goal to provide yogurt to mothers who were suffering from their treatments with chemotherapy, we were able to give nutritional support to children who were receiving therapy. We provided yogurt as a breakfast with fruit for the children in special education. We gave employment opportunities to people with a handicap and to their mothers also.
Most of all we continued to produce a nutritious product that had not existed in our city before we started. Our promoters continued to promote good nutrition and to sell the product in order to support our lunch program for people with a handicap.
Thank you again for your support

Yogurt is on a campaign.
They are selling their yogurt with painted decals of different animals in danger of extinction. This campaign encourages children and adults to be aware of the animals in danger of extinction in Nicaragua. In addition, they collect a certain number of yogurt tops and can win a free yogurt. The Special Artists painted the yogurt lids to create awareness of animals in danger of extinction. The new yogurt campaign was promoted during the Annual Fair for animals in danger of extinction.
This yogurt campaign is the idea of Scarlett, the new person in charge of sales. She wants the children in the schools to remind them about these animals and how important they are to our future. It is a campaign started during the fair as yogurt’s way of contributing to the environment struggle against extinction.
Yogurt is also getting a new facelift in repairing its motor-taxi, making it safer and lighter for its many trips delivering yogurt across the city. The artists are repainting it to include the animals on the stickers on the motor taxi. One of the artists said. There are always spaces where we can paint our animals. And create that love that is a part of Yogurt con Amor.
As we continue to maintain the different health measures to avoid COVID, we are aware of our mothers suffering from cancer treatments. When they are receiving chemotherapy, it becomes hard to eat, and they find that all they can stomach might be a bit of yogurt. These mothers receive free yogurt con amor in hopes of helping them stay the course for their treatment and become survivors of cancer, not victims of cancer. It is essential because these mothers have children with special needs, and they are concerned about their future. Yogurt con amor wants to animate these mothers and help them survive the complex treatments.
There is no better way than showing the Amor in yogurt than being able to help others maintain hope during an illness. So the workers in Yogurt con Amor want to thank you for assisting them to help others. The mothers with cancer, the children in therapy, the children who eat daily at the lunch program all benefit from the Amor in Yogurt con Amor-
Thank you.

The Love in Yogurt with Love is Relationships

Yogurt con Amor is more than just producing a nutritional product; it is about relationships created through nutrition. It is about caring, caring about the women receiving chemotherapy who cannot eat other products. Yogurt is delivered to malnourished children in a nutrition center who need to grow strong because they got a rough start in life. It is about families with many children who, when the promoter arrives, she is surrounded by the children singing, “Mama, Mama, the yogurt is here, the yogurt is here.“ One day, I asked students in a volunteer program what they knew of Special Families. One young man said, “Aren’t you the ones that sell that yogurt with love.”
Children receiving therapy get yogurt as an award to help in their development. This year yogurt con Amor started nutrition talks for children in special education and raffling free yogurt. Yogurt con Amor is about people with a disability beginning to hold a job and creating relationships with other workers. Yogurt is also about having jobs for students from rural communities to study in Matagalpa because there are few schools in their communities. Many doctors in our area recommend our yogurt for the health of their patients since it is helpful for digestive health. It is still 100% natural with real fruit for flavoring. All proceeds from yogurt go to keep our lunch program SMILE that feeds about 110 meals a day to children and adults.
In Special Families, we are working on a protection policy for our planet. This month we are starting to put solar panels in the yogurt factory. This is exciting as Special Families is trying to find natural solutions to many of the struggles of running small businesses which provide Nutrition and Jobs. From all the staff at Yogurt con Amor, we want to thank you for all your support. It does make a difference in our lives and the lives of children in need of nutrition, gracias.
