Thanks to the support of our donors, 38 people living in difficult circumstances were able to enjoy a warm and healthy meal. It was a special day full of meeting, gratitude, and connection.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: inherit;\">AmiMesa is much more than just a meal. It is a moment when people come together, meet each other, and experience that they are not alone. At the table, everyone is equal. They eat, talk, laugh, and listen together. In a country where many people face poverty and shortages daily, such a simple gathering can make a world of difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: inherit;\">What's special about AmiMesa is that for less than \u20ac50, we can provide a nutritious meal for around 40 people. This makes it a small-scale project with a big impact. Every donation, large or small, helps us to organise another AmiMesa and give people a moment of connection, care, and hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: inherit;\">AmiMesa shows that help doesn't always have to be big or complicated. Sometimes, real change begins with something very simple: a table, a warm meal, and genuine attention to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: inherit;\">Together we share not only food, but also friendship, respect and hope. That is the power of AmiMesa.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa11.jpg\" title=\"AmiMesa\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa11.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa11-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa11-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa11-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1200\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_2 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa3.jpg\" title=\"AmiMesa\" width=\"1500\" height=\"845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa3.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa3-1280x721.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa3-980x552.jpg 980w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa3-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1204\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_3 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa2.jpg\" title=\"AmiMesa\" width=\"1500\" height=\"845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa2-1280x721.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa2-980x552.jpg 980w, https:\/\/amistadcuba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AmiMesa2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1207\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_flex_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3><span style=\"color: #e09900;\"><strong>Look below for a photo report of our very first AmiMesa, held on Saturday 13 June 2026.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_video_slider_0 et_pb_video_slider et_pb_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_slider et_pb_preload et_pb_slider_carousel et_pb_slider_no_pagination et_pb_controls_light\"><div class=\"et_pb_slides\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_video_slider_item_0 et_pb_video_slider_item et_pb_slide et_pb_bg_layout_dark\" data-image=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/5XV7_cUMTiw\/hqdefault.jpg\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_wrap\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_box\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AmiMesa Holgu\u00edn, Cuba. 40 people at the table thanks to friendship from the Netherlands. 13 June 2026\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5XV7_cUMTiw?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer;
