In my second episode as a pizza chef in Barrio Planeta, Honduras, I prepare "Japanese" pizzas for the locals. the Hondurans are amazed when I bring out sardines, Chinese rice, spicy noodles, teriyaki sauce, ginger, and other ingredients. Yadira, my teacher and founder of Pizzería Pibes, tells me that in the 20 years that she has been making pizzas, she has never seen such crazy pizzas.
A jury of parents and their children nervously taste the Japanese pizzas to give me a score from 0 to 10. After eating the pizzas, the children ask me for a ride to their neighborhood. When I realize that I have to leave the border of Barrio Planeta to enter Rivera Hernandez, I get a little worried. According to what I've been told, the gangs in the two neighborhoods have been at war for years, and have established "invisible" borders where someone who lives in one of those neighborhoods cannot enter the other. When I arrive with the children, I realize that they live in the middle of the invisible border. When I realize that the children do not have a school, I cannot contain my emotions.
Yadira is an entrepreneur who has fought in one of the toughest neighborhoods of Honduras. She has survived several hurricanes and the death of her husband. With the profits from Pizzería Pibes, she supports her family financially. You can support her by buying her delicious pizzas!
