Teachers and participants of the National Institute of Professional Technical Training (Infotep) are producing in the Bakery and Confectionery workshops about 15,000 units of breadto distribute to families affected by Fiona.
Some 10,000 units are being made in the workshops of the metropolitan region, in the National District, 3,000 in the East region, in La Romana and 2,000 in the Hotel, Gastronomy and Pastry School, in Higüey, and these are being distributed through the provincial governments of the affected areas.
“Faced with the calamity that we have just experienced in the country due to the scourge of Hurricane Fiona, we have activated, together with our teachers and participants, the production of thousands of bread rations, to deliver them to families that are affected by and with limitations, caused by the atmospheric phenomenon”, affirmed Rafael Santos Badía, general director of Infotep.
Delivery of food rations
Likewise, through the Bávaro Satellite Office, Infotep is preparing food rations in the mobile kitchen workshop located in Friusa, for the population of the area that is currently in a vulnerable condition. These foods are being delivered in coordination with the neighborhood associations.
Similarly, it is expected to expand coverage, in a joint action with the Association of Hotels and Tourist Projects of the East (Asoleste), to bring food rations to sectors of Miches, Verón and Bávaro.
Logistical support
Also in the East, a human and transport team has been made available to the relief authorities to support the mobilization and distribution of food in the areas affected by the passage of Hurricane Fiona.
In the north
The Cibao Sur Regional Directorate of Infotep will also be mobilizing its Gastronomy workshop to vulnerable areas of Samaná, for the preparation of food, in coordination with the Government, adding to the strategies that the Central government is developing to recover the areas most impacted by the passage of Fiona, through the Northern Region of the country.
