Name/Title
Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. - Lorena Perez - Honrando ala CubaDescription
My name is Lorena Pérez. I am from Nicaragua. I am a person at high risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus and that is why I have had to spend these months of prevention at home. Despite the above, I am happy to receive the art class with Santiago and Hugh, which is a great help to overcome confinement, because in addition to instructing me in the subject of art, I learn drawing and we had a lot of fun sharing with the other students. I thank Santiago and Hugh for showing us art from Latin America and from other parts such as Spain, France, USA, etc. The Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. had great success in coordinating the virtual classes. Thank you very much for this great work on behalf of older adults like me.”
Lorena Pérez was born in Nicaragua and has lived in the S.F. Bay Area for over 30 years. A creative person by nature, Blanca enjoys needlepoint, crocheting, and painting designs on small stones. She is an avid reader of Latin American Literature. Some of her favorite authors include Isabelle Allende, Gioconda Belli, and Guadalupe Loese. Also a singer, she is a member of the San Francisco choral group, “Coro Sotera.”
