La Creacion de Pachamama!

BUENOS DIAS AMIGUITOS!!!

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful day:) I'd like to dedicate this (and the next few posts!) to the creation and operation of Pachamama Divine Connection as a store and as an organization! 


A year and a half ago today, we opened our doors in the Strip District of Pittsburgh! So much hard work went into the creation and operation of this store but one piece that we take most pride in is our magical, alpaca hanging chair!                                                                                                                                                                                      our magical chair in all it's glory!

Fatima and Fabricio wanted this chair to be a special spot for all of the pint-sized guests who entered the store. This cozy nook is filled with with alpaca blankets and surrounded by fluffy friends! Flowers adorn the wicker seat and overhead are mystical, weeping willow, Avatar-esque lights with dream catchers scattered throughout!



Not only is this cozy, fluffy, funkadelic chair a source of joy for children and adults alike, but it also has a deeper purpose...it is to connect the children of Pittsburgh with the children of the Andes!!

There is a donation box next to the chair and all donations go directly to helping indigenous children in developing communities in the Peruvian Andes.

Here are some photos of our awesome customers, friends, and family members living it up in our beautiful alpaca chair and celebrating the meaning and mission of Pachamama Divine Connection!

The Tale of Pistachio...

Buenos Dias!!!😻

So I haven't written in awhile...apologies! But A LOT has been going on here at Pachamama Divine Connection. Just last week we had a miracle occur...here in our very own store!

It all started last Tuesday, when Fatima and Fabricio came home after a long day of working at the store. They walked up to their apartment door and there, sitting right in front of their home, lay an extremely skinny (but cute) kitten, covered in soot and very clearly malnourished.

2 cans of cat food later, Fati and Fabricio had fallen in love with the super sweet kitty who they went on to name, Pistachio. He was so sweet and cuddly--all he needed was love!

Unfortunately though, they could not keep Pistachio'--for they already had a cat (named Tika who not only didn't get along with other animals) as well as a lack of space in their home...

So we made a post on Facebook the next day and mere hours after posting his photo, Pistachio had someone interested in adopting him!!

Taia and his family adopted Pistachio the next day, and he is now living happily in his new found home:) Miracles happen every day!!!

I bid you adieu today with some pics of Pistachio livin' the good life!!!
