I am so very proud of the following articles that appeared at the end of May in newspapers around Puerto Rico on the power and impact of our annual educational trip to Puerto Rico, Buscando Nuestras Raices.
It is because of your dedication and commitment to this trip that we can make a significant impact on our beloved island. Thank you so much for your continued support and for making the educational and humanitarian trip such a great success for both us and the wonderful people we have met and helped in Puerto Rico.

George participated in the Culinary Institute of New York Competition and received the Silver Medal for participation in an ACF Sanctioned Culinary Competition on December 2, 2023.
