"Paro" means strike! We are having a 2 day one now. This is a general strike involving businesses and transportation. Unlike a business or office, the Casas cannot simply be shut down for two days and still need staff and supplies. The directors have laid in 2 weeks work of dry goods, but fresh milk and veggies won't keep that long. We hope this strike doesn't turn into an "indefindo," or unlimited time strike. Those workers who live closest to Casa San José will take turns until transportation is operative again for the cook and other workers. Casa Sagrada Familia is a different situation as it is more remote and no one lives near it. Whoever is on duty will just be on until things clear up. The kids may learn more about cooking in the next few days than they care to know! Needless to say, schools and training institutes will be closed. Pray for a lowering of fuel costs and food prices. These strikes alway hurt the most needy the hardest.
