The Team of Yogurt Con Amor started 2019 with energy ready to do everything possible to have this nutritious product available to all Matagalpinos. Early in the cool mornings they receive milk directly from the farm and begin the process to pasteurize and allow nature to change the Milk to Yogurt. Meantime the mothers get ready to go on a new adventure each day in the yogurt motor taxi to sell the 100% natural Yogurt Con Amor in its varied flavors, along with the healthy granola so people across the city can have a breakfast of champions.
Francis one of the sellers has been working for 6 years to make sure that this product gets onto the tables of families with children with special needs. She has rarely missed a day of work, her energy is incredible and so positive that it is contagious. She is a special mom with a special daughter. Francis is quick to say that it is her daughter who motivates her in her work and in her family. Her enthusiasm is unique because she loves her work and wants every person to receive the health benefits of Yogurt Con Amor.” I want more and more children young people and adults to grow strong by eating yogurt. It is such a healthy product that I just can’t contain myself until we reach every corner of our city with this product. This is where my heart is in making sure people know that our product is made first with love then with all the fresh ingredients to help their hearts.”
The team has a new Coordinator, she is Massiel, a cheerful woman, with many ideas and great leadership to guide the team to move forward even in the midst of the sociopolitical situation of Nicaragua. Nothing can stop them now. They continue looking for new places to take the product, improving the quality, variety, innovating its flavors. They passed with flying colors the health inspectors visit for 2019 so people have security of the product’s quality.
Improving people’s health is their priority. Recently the Park of Stars hosted the annual assembly where more than 200 families came to hear reports on activities in 2018 and plans for 2019. This event would not have been complete without each mother receiving her frozen Yogurt at the entrance and ending the day with their delicious dessert typical of the region. The report by Yogurt con Amor was approved by the mother delegates with a nice round of applause in support of the work of these mothers in Yogurt con Amor.
