Starting with just three hives and seed money to cover 80% of the start-up costs, 15 months later he now has more than 20 producing hives and harvested this year over 19 kilos of top grade, organic honey. Our next step is to help him market his honey with urban dwellers who will pay a higher price for the fruits of his labor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fernando <\/strong>smiles a lot, loves to learn and is willing to roll up his sleeves and work. Due to his complete lack of ability to hear and speak, he has often experienced exclusion. We have collaborated with Fernando so that he now communicates fluently in sign language.<\/p>\n<p>Fernando told us that he likes to wash motorcycles and cars. Outside his parents\u2019 home, located just one block from a main highway, we contributed together to purchase a high-pressure hose and boots to start his initiative.<\/p>\n<p>One year later, he has many customers every day. In the coming year, we look forward to jointly improving his business with a cement ramp to facilitate washing of the undercarriages, an aluminum awning to shelter from the sun and a few chairs for his clients.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_43496\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43496\" class=\"wp-image-43496\" src=\"https:\/\/mklm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maria-Fernanda2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mklm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maria-Fernanda2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mklm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maria-Fernanda2-480x448.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 600px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-43496\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mar\u00eda Fernanda peeling oranges at her mother&#8217;s fruit cart in Entre Rios<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Mar\u00eda Fernanda <\/strong>has very challenging intellectual disabilities. She can perform only limited and tightly supervised tasks. We met her in the main plaza of the rural village of Entre Rios, where she was helping her mother sell fresh-squeezed orange juice. Do\u00f1a Nely was just getting by.<\/p>\n<p>After listening and considering options, together we came up with a plan to improve the business. Do\u00f1a Nely now has a movable cart to help her push her refreshment stand from her home to the main plaza or to nearby soccer fields. Additionally, we also teamed up to obtain a commercial-grade tool to greatly speed up the heavy, manual work necessary to squeeze the oranges due to the lack of electricity. The discipline of Mar\u00eda Fernanda\u2019s mother, who works seven days a week instead of just giving up, motivates us to work together to try to obtain a small grill in 2023 so she can sell sandwiches during the seasonal times when oranges are scarce.<\/p>\n<p>Your generosity has been a critical ingredient in achieving the economic independence of Rub\u00e9n, Fernando and Mar\u00eda Fernanda \u2014 and you can help us make these planned improvements happen.<\/p>\n<p><em>Will you continue to partner with Maryknoll Lay Missioners so that we can continue to bring about dignity, hope and economic independence for the more than 250 persons with disabilities and their families with whom we collaborate?
