Dinner at home: Mexico Edition 🌮

Tonight, we enjoyed a Mexican dinner at home, and it was a hit! We had tacos with ground beef, cheese, guacamole, and rice. The girls absolutely loved it—some even went back for seconds! It’s always great to see them enjoying the food.

These family dinners are such a special time for us to come together, relax, and have fun. It’s not just about the food, but about being together and making memories. We’re already looking forward to the next one! There’s nothing better than good food and great company.

With love,

Threads of Tomorrow: Promoting Sustainable Fashion at CDL

During the latest monthly assembly at our boarding school, Esther took the stage alongside a day student to present an inspiring initiative aimed at promoting sustainable fashion—Threads of Tomorrow. Their project encourages students to embrace second-hand clothing as a way to reduce waste and support eco-friendly practices. Through a well-crafted presentation, they highlighted the benefits of buying pre-loved items, emphasizing how it can contribute to a greener planet while still allowing students to express their individual style. The duo also shared tips on how to find great quality second-hand pieces and how this movement ties into larger global efforts toward sustainability.

The project not only raised awareness about environmental issues but also sparked conversations among the students about the importance of mindful consumption. Esther and her partner’s initiative was met with enthusiasm and curiosity, inspiring many to reconsider their clothing choices and explore new ways to shop more sustainably. As the school community embraces this eco-conscious effort, we can all look forward to a more sustainable future, one thread at a time.

Below are two pictures capturing Esther’s presentation and the energy of the event.

Best,

Portena team!
