“This idea arises after so many years working on chocolate with my mother almost 36 years ago,” he assured.
Jaqueline explained that a strong neighborhood work is carried out, “we visit the neighborhood councils of all the neighborhoods, inviting the neighbors to participate, mainly the people who need to get out of certain complex situations”
“More than anything for those low-income women who have a totally emotionally unbalanced life, we break with all that and provide free training and supplies”assured.
Regarding the exhibition, the chocolatier teacher said that “this commitment has allowed them to have a very positive impact on people who were going through situations of depression, vices, family violence, relegation, among many other cases.”
