Gabriela Fraga during a conversation with a friend about the cold of the city thought about the idea of give sweaters or sacks to people who need it. The initiative consists of carrying an extra garment every day, to keep you warm, in your purse or simply in your hand, and give it to someone on the way. “One garment per day, while you can,” says Fraga.
She has already started with the initiative EL COMERCIO counts on a daily basis. On Monday, May 3, he gave a garment to a windshield wiper in the La Granados sector and on Tuesday, May 4, another to a family in La Y, in the north of the capital. Fraga hope that more people join the initiativeSo far they have contacted her from Cuenca and Riobamba to replicate the idea.
