Burbujas y recuerdos - Ejercicio de 5 minutos de escritura libre

If I remember correctly, it was around this time in August, but in 2014, that Dad came home from the street one afternoon with coconut oil and the idea of ​​making soap.

Even today, many people think that the shortages that occurred in Venezuela at that time were a media invention to harm the government. I understand that it is hard to believe that so many things were missing, and also so basic, like those that were missing at that time or those that are missing today, which are fewer, but perhaps even more basic.

From that August afternoon on, things changed at home. We started talking about formulas, saponification indexes, bubbles, hardness, over-greasing, additives and other similar things. We turned the house into a laboratory and once the technique was fine-tuned, into a factory and operations center for distribution.

The idea of ​​making something of quality and with plant extracts always prevailed, since we like natural things. We made a place for ourselves in the market that, thanks to our quality, we were able to maintain over the years. Like many Venezuelans, we weathered crises and turned them into an opportunity.

Ten years have passed since that day when dad had an idea that transformed him, that idea through which he found his passion and gave us an opportunity; 10 years of bubbles and foam. And now that we have been 2 months since we left our home to embark on a new adventure in distant lands, I have peace and faith that we will also weather this wave, because we have learned a lot, we have grown a lot and God has made us strong.

We still have some soap supplies that we brought in the suitcase. A reminder of everything that can be achieved with perseverance and dedication.
