Choripaneada? What is that? Well my friends it’s a BBQ boasting one of Argentina’s most infamous meat concoctions- the choripan. The word choripan comes from it’s parts; the “chori” is short for chorizo, which is the closest thing to kielbasa one can get, and “pan” in Spanish means bread. So put these two wonders of the world together and we get a sausage sandwich. Genius!!!!! So being the smart and savvy volunteers that we are we realized that the closest way to someone’s wallet was through their stomach (we added beer in the mix to loosen up the process a little), so we organized a neighborhood BBQ for volunteers, neighbors, and friends in order to raise money for the community center.
The night itself was quite international with representatives from the US, Argentina, Holland, Peru, Mexico, Columbia, New Zealand, Britain, and Ireland. Neighbors and volunteers alike enjoyed the great cuisine, raffles, and most importantly each other’s company as all participated in ACORN’s fundraising event. The money generated will go towards supplies for classes and a field trip for the kids. Thanks to all who made this night possible and above all a success. In times like these the madness of the world is forgotten and humanity at its finest takes center stage, if only more of life consisted of moments like these.
