I personally know several people who did not receive abono or maiz in the past and others who received more than their fair share. I think it would be a great idea if someone else was in charge of distribution. And especially with the poor crops this past year, the people really need it.Alisha Lundberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565215996982476607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106998211184545616.post-82695687634890411302011-06-05T09:27:40.778-06:002011-06-05T09:27:40.778-06:00Alicia, this blog entry and all what your church h...Alicia, this blog entry and all what your church have done are fantastic.<br /><br />Though the government here gives farmers fertilizer ("abono") and maize, it's a bureaucratic process and you guys cut the red tape for San Francisco. The good news is they are working make the subsidy less corrupt now, and rather than the local mayor/town hall distributing, they are doing it with a government agency. According to my husband, in the past mayors of towns would be in charge of distributing the subsidies, and frequently gave them only to people of their same political party or to their "buddies".<br /><br />Paternas! I have eaten them a couple times, the sweet white part raw and then they boiled the green part and put salt and lemon on it. <br /><br />congratulations on the good work, over 100 families are more fortunate this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
