Pina Palmera- Zipolite-Video-We Live to Grow!

Just came across this wonderful video about the Pina Palmera in Zipolite. It's a great video full of examples and explanations of the type of work they do and the people they help.

It was so nice to see Malena and Marciano and all the other who work at Pina Palmera.
We have visited a few times but mostly we know the people from just being in Zipolite and seeing them out and about. Many people volunteer at Pina Palmera and we have met them.

When I nearly broke my wrist I was so fortunate as I went there and they helped me with a brace and massage. I would have been in serious trouble if they hadn't been as kind as they were.

This is a great video and I hope you will share it.

Pina Palmera definitely needs some loving support. I was over there the other day and there was a lot of standing water. There was a bad smell coming from it or somewhere. I am not sure of the situation there but I know that they survive on donations.

If you have supported them in the past I would definitely suggest you contact them and see what you can do to help out. If you are not aware Zipolite was hit with Hurricane Carlota in June 2012. Please lend a hand and help out if you can.
