Mr. Vasco Guerrero’s Oven

End Date: Jan 30, 2026 12:00 AM

During a recent virtual program in Panama, students worked closely with Mr. Vasco Guerrero, a home baker who has been facing challenges due to a broken and unreliable oven. At one point, he had to use a piece of wood to keep the oven door closed, and it has since stopped working entirely. To continue baking, Mr. Vasco has been relying on a neighbor’s much smaller oven, which limits his ability to produce enough goods to support his business. The team has identified a replacement oven that can be purchased in Panama City and delivered to his home, providing a more sustainable and affordable solution. This fundraiser aims to help cover the cost of a new oven so Mr. Vasco can continue growing his business and supporting his livelihood.
