The rise of Pedro Castillo, a previously obscure

The rise of Pedro Castillo, a previously obscure leader of a rural teachers union, to Peru’s highest office is the most glaring example yet of the power of the pandemic to upend politics in Latin America... In Peru, a what-more-have-we-got-to-lose mentality helped propel one of the most unusual candidates ever to win a Latin American presidency. A 51-year-old, straw-hat-wearing schoolteacher and farmer who reported an income last year of $16,600, Castillo had never held public office... Peru has had four presidents in five years. Two were forced out amid corruption allegations, and another over the use of excessive force against protesters. More than 50 lawmakers in the 130-member legislature are under investigation or facing criminal. #peru🇵🇪 #presidente #president #pedrocastillo #washingtonpost

This is Stefania. She was forced to leave Venezuel

This is Stefania. She was forced to leave Venezuela almost three years ago in search of a job and food. That decision forced her to make one of the toughest decisions a mother can be faced with -- she chose to leave her young daughter Camila behind with her own mom due to the unsafe and unknown journey ahead. ⠀
⠀
Now that Stefania has a safe place to live and a good job, she made the trek back to Venezuela for her daughter. After almost three years of not seeing her and missing some of the most formative years, Stefania was worried. ⠀
⠀
What if her daughter didn't recognize her? ⠀
What if she rejected her as a mother?⠀
What if she blamed her for leaving her behind? ⠀
⠀
Stefania spent 10 days traveling by bus, and by foot at times, to get back to her daughter who is now 6 years old. Their reunion proved that love goes beyond borders. Stefania and Camila are safely back in Peru with Stefania's one year old son and they are getting to know one another again. Each day feels sweeter on the other side of a long separation for this family. ⠀

To Xavier, opening Brothers Bakery was the fulfill

To Xavier, opening Brothers Bakery was the fulfillment of one of his biggest dreams. And for his parents it was too. Last week, Xavier's parents went on a virtual tour of @brothersbakeryinternational and got to see all the progress that their son and his team are making. While any parent would be proud, it meant something more for Xavier's parents, who are still in Venezuela. They are parents who've had to make the hard decision to let their children flee to other countries, hoping they could build a better life. Some, like Xavier's dad, hope to follow and join their children one day. He can't yet, he needs to wait until he's in a more stable medical condition. But until then, he's finding joy in seeing their son thrive and support other refugees! #pastries #pan #pastrychef #frenchbread #croissant #venezolanosenperu #venezolanosenlima #supportrefugees #refugees #refugeestories #displaced #immigration #entrepreneur #buildyourownbusiness #bringhomethebacon #supportsmallbusiness #support
