La Morada Chef Natalia's Sopa de Viandas Recipe / Receta
Inspired by employees at Engage@IHSMarkit and Barclays Embrace, Arete partnered with South Bronx Mutual Aid and La Morada Restaruant in Mott Haven to prepare 100 meals to give away for Thanksgiving. We learned Chef Natalia's recipe for Sopa de Viandas, a nutritous vegan soup made from root vegetables and shared the prepared soup, fresh vegetables, and the recipe to feed a family of 4-8 people. You can see pictures and the recipe below. More details on our blog.

Arete Alumni Feature - Amairany (Amy) Arizmendi
Meet Amairany (Amy) Arizmendi - middle school alum of The Laboratory School of Finance and Technology, Class of 2012.
She has become extremely involved with Arete taking on various roles and responsibilities, an indispensable team member and leader. She has had the roles of family advocate, registering people for the census, helping families register their children to Arete programming, coordinating events at different sites involved with Arete, ordering supplies, managing budgets, and more. Additionally, during the peak of the pandemic, Amy was involved with Arete’s mission of assisting different families during this difficult time. She helped with the distribution of groceries and provided families with access to laptops and gift cards to buy different necessities like toiletries, clothes, and household items.
One main takeaway from her various roles throughout her time with Arete has been her mindfulness skills! She has learned to take things one day at a time and use breathing techniques when things get stressful and difficult to manage. This is especially important when dealing with important responsibilities and following through with the mission of serving underserved and vulnerable populations. Amy affirms that Arete has fostered an environment where she is constantly able to learn and grow. She has grown the ability to effectively communicate not only with her peers and coworkers but also with parents. She enjoys interacting with families and credits this growth and enthusiasm to Arete’s commitment to providing support to their employees. Amy continues to benefit from Arete as she is continuously being challenged and improving. She takes on more tasks and fulfills more deadlines which allows her to learn more and become more prepared for future events and jobs.
