Bread, one of the most necessary human foods. And when the process of transforming flour into bread involves people that will be the very beneficiaries of this activity, promoting income generation and insertion into the world of work, this activity has a special significance. It is even more valued when these alchemists are Venezuelan indigenous refugees, who live in the shelters in Roraima, under the management of the\u00a0Fraternity – International Humanitarian Federation (FIHF)<\/a>\u00a0and its partners.<\/p>\n\n

\"Bread<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

To encompass this proposal, the project of community bread shops in the shelters was created. Still not inaugurated, the first bread shop, set up in Jardim Floresta, is already functioning as a training center. The manager of the\u00a0Lasting Solutions Sector<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0Humanitarian Fraternity (FIHF)<\/a>, Imer de Mirna, tells us that the bread shop is being equipped through donations from the Pan-American Development Foundation (PADF).<\/p>\n\n

The first activity in the bread shop, where there used to be an industrial kitchen, was the practical training of the attendees to the course on Basic Breadmaking, done by the Senac, intended for ten indigenous members of the Pintol\u00e2ndia, Jardim Floresta and Janokoida Shelters, who received certificates at the end of the course. Following, the Course on Good Practices in Handling Food was done, where 20 people were trained.<\/p>\n\n

Due to the demand, a new course on Basic Breadmaking will be offered for a group of ten students, and will be done wholly in the bread shop. And according to the qualifications of the students, there will be other courses such as Intermediate and\/or Advanced Breadmaking.<\/p>\n\n

After this period of training, the collective bread shop will open its doors to sell products both to the residents of the shelters and the surrounding community. “Not only bread, but also confectionary items,” is what Imer envisions, who sees the professional training of those involved as a means to generate income based on the recovery of the dignity and empowerment of those people.<\/p>\n\n
