As students of a disadvantaged backgrounds, we are well aware of the need for effective delivery of dignified community services. Our second day was meaningful for that very reason. Loíza was hit by both Hurricanes Irma and María and suffered substantial damages. The town is a predominantly Afro Latino community that has always experienced disenfranchisement, has a high poverty level, and is home to many undocumented immigrants. While in Loíza, our group worked together to assist a strong, engaged and committed community leader, Rafael Rivera Rivera, that actively advocates and works to provide resources to the community of Villa Cañona. Together we worked towards cleaning and painting a building that will become a future community center, used primarily as an after school tutoring center for the children and youth of the community, and as a social community kitchen to provide meals to families who suffer food insecurity. Our ability to assist this community in Puerto Rico was rewarding and necessary because these are the kind of issues within communities that need to be addressed and often fail to be serviced both before and especially after a natural disaster.
