Last day in Cristo Rey

Last day in Cristo Rey - our friend Pastor Carlos helped us meet some families in need and we distributed lots of fruit rice beans and other essentials we purchased from the markets in TipiTapa. Nice to support the local economy as part of the Lykki mission.The children and families we amazing. One mother and her children had just ran out of food with no prospect of more food in the near future. Timing was perfect.

Fri 23rd Dec, 2016 was...Festivus!

Everyone likes to enjoy the holidays in their own special ways, but one holiday stands out more than the rest. Festivus, a holiday that seems as a joke but in all reality is a popular holiday growing through the masses in the United States. Let’s dig deeper into the past to find the origins of this plain, yet popular holiday.o enjoy the holidays in their own special ways, but one holiday stands out more than the rest. Festivus, a holiday that seems as a joke but in all reality is a popular holiday growing through the masses in the United States. Let’s dig deeper into the past to find the origins of this plain, yet popular holiday.

History of Festivus
Ironically, Festivus has a very odd and amusing start. It was conceived by author and editor Daniel O’Keefe and was celebrated as early back as 1966 by him and his family. But, how did Festivus become so popular if it was just a family tradition? To find that out, we must move forward in time to an episode of the famous television show Seinfeld. While the holiday is extremely popular among people today, the first time Festivus was mentioned in American culture was in the episode of Seinfeld called “The Strike”, but there’s more to the name of Festivus than just a referenced television episode, right? Indeed there is, because the word “festive” is derived from the Latin word “Festivus”. Sound familiar? It should. Festivus is an adjective meaning “excellent, jovial, and lively” which in turn derives from Festus, which means “joyous; holiday; feast day”. Plus, it brings one to think, maybe Festivus is to prove that we as humans don’t need material objects to be happy on a holiday, but all we really need is excellent company, jovial attitudes, and lively music to make the holidays the best we could have.

Trip to Nicaragua

Next three days we are in Cristo Rey - where thousands of families live. We are starting our Lykki for Good 1:1 fruit give back program - supporting small fruit vendors and feeding children with the fruit we buy.
For every piece of fruit we sell at Lykki on a standing order we will donate a piece to the children of Cristo Rey.
