Thank you for the grant. I was thrilled to receive this grant and share with my community. I, Liliana Guerrero hosted the BBQ Party event in my building complex on August 10, 2024. The social event started at 5 pm and ended at around 8:30 pm and took place in our lawn and party room.
This event allowed sharing food and mingling with our wonderful community members. Every one contributed a bit with salads and sweets, my husband and I BBQed and sharing good food with our neighbours. We enjoyed each other’s company, heard each other’s stories and shared a great summer evening in our beautiful garden fostering a community network. I thank you and the Neighbourhood Small Grants for helping us foster a stronger community. My personal mission is to make the world a happier and healthier place by reminding people about the importance of face to face social connection and inspiring them to take action. It is important to recognize the value of strong relationships to improve wellbeing, our BBQ Party encouraged our neighbours to jump off the treadmill and step away from technology to reconnect with one another. You have made it easier to do so with your kindness and sharing. I am grateful to had been a recipient of your grants this year and will continue to foster positive communities.
