Tenemos que convertirnos en el cambio que queremos ver aquí en Puerto Rico!🇵🇷🙌💪
Comentario subestimado.
This is an example to other communities in Puerto Rico of being proactive in finding solutions to the problems our communities are having in this time. Too often, we expect the government to take care of us but we need to recognize that we are the ones who need to take responsibility for those in need around us.
We need to stop complaining about how unfair everything is and start acting fairly towards each other.
True to a certain extent, but the government also shouldn’t be left off the hook. They do, after all, get paid and manage PR taxes and should be doing something for ordinary people as a result. One can advocate for people being more proactive and also not leave the politicians off the hook or they’ll just steal the money that belongs to the people.
@@earthandwind820 True, but then I suppose they are already stealing the funds that should be used to help the people. I believe that the government is not composed of just the politicians but of all the people. As Abraham Lincoln said, the government is of the people, by the people and for the people. Indeed, we need to hold our elected government responsible for their abuses but we need to recognize that we all have a personal responsibility to treat those around us with respect and consideration. How can we expect our politicians to hold a higher standard then those who elected them?
@@williamrapien6071 I agree, if politicians in PR actually did the bare minimal, but they can’t even be bothered to fix the sidewalks or have a normal electrical grid. That’s unacceptable. My dad lives in San Lorenzo, I swear I can’t figure out where the money goes in the town. It’s peoples job to help one another, their neighbors, but it’s not the job of ordinary Juan or Maria to have normal asphalt roads or regular sidewalks - that’s the government’s job. They need to do their damn job, too. If they don’t, they should be scolded till infinity.
The people in this video, without even half the budget/time of the politicians in PR, have done more than the politicians in DECADES. That’s pathetic.
AMÉN AMÉN. Thank you!
Ya es hora que hemos aprendido a cuidarnos sin ayuda extranjera. Eso es lo que se llama soberania. Los felicito. Gracias, Bianca .
Exacto.
Estas segur@ de eso? El Imperio esta detras de todo lo que ocurre en el pais. El imperio sigue beneficiandose del comercio puertorriqueno, el cual importa mas del 95% de lo que consume de Estados Unidos, utilizando y pagando por su marina mercante. Hasta que el ejercito de EEUU y sus agencias federales no salgan del pais, no podemos decir que hemos aprendido a valernos por nosotros mismos.
@@ruthbonilla6178 Gracias, Ruth. Estoy aqui en El Bronx enfermo de los nervios por lo que esta pasando en La Isla. Poppy era mano derecha de Lic. Juan Mari Bras del Partido Socialista Puertorriqueno (PSP) en NY en los anos 60s y 70s. Que viva PR Libre !!!!!!
Dude this woman is a inspiration. I see her every where. She's a true warrior of the ppl there. She's awesome.
Great story! I'm not Puerto Rican but you are masterful with your stories I feel compelled to learn. Keep sharing your stories with the rest of the world.
A way to help P.R in the long run in my opinion is to build hydroponic and aquaponic and fish farms so P.R has a constant food supply so that in the event of a natural disaster a food crisis would not occur in PR this can also be used as a source of income in the island.
I have a small hydroponic system that I get 200 letters in all my family it's for me
There was a failed hydroponic farm in Vieques when I lived there. I don't know why it failed; it seems like a good idea-but maybe it's not. And farmed fish? Where I am now, farmed fish are available in the supermarket. I avoid them because they taste, in my opinion, awful. They are cheaper, but I would rather have a small piece of wild-caught fish than a larger portion of farmed fish. If farmed fish were the only available, I would prefer to go without, thank you.
One of the biggest disappointments of life in Vieques was the lack of safety in the fish market. If the fish are caught near the reef (reef feeders) they collect a nerve poison. If you eat these over time, it creates an irreversible, sometimes fatal condition. It is important to fish 25 miles out from the reef.
So, the bottom line is to IMO preserve the environment that the fish we love can thrive in. Know the source of your food. I personally suspect any process that tends to concentrate and isolate our food supply.
I am an elderly woman who has always gone by the "if I don't recognize it as food, I'm not buying it, no matter how cheap and no matter the 'new and improved' claims."
Now with GMO technology, some of the food can look real, but nutritionally diminished for the sake of shelf-life and shipability features.
Best to get your garden growing in the back and get to the local farmer's market.
Many families have hydroponic projects.
The problem is puerto rico is a failed welfare state
There's many hydroponics farms in Puerto Rico, but not everyone knows them. Maybe if we promote them instead of outsiders, we can help them thrive, too.
I love this story! This is the connection! My love for Puerto Rico is this! This needs to flow all over the island!! As a child growing up visiting my family in Puerto Rico and being around the community supporting and sharing is beautiful! My 🧡 is still there and always with 🇵🇷 !!
Dios te bendiga Bianca, yo amo la cultura Borinqueña, atletas cómo Cotto y Trinidad 🥊 y la música salsa y reggeatton 😍 I hope that the island will have a competitive economy once again soon equal to prosperous Latin American countries like Chile 🇨🇱 y Uruguay 🇺🇾 🙏 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 😊
🇩🇪💪🇵🇷
You make me cry with the love I have for the beautiful Puerto Ricans...
God bless you all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing work Bianca! Your work only gets better. The world needs to know not only about the disaster and atrocities the American Government has committed and continues to commit to our people. Feels good to see the big hearts and souls of our people. Thank you!
That's right Giovanni Puerto Ricans seem to forget that the U.S. has committed despicable acts against our Puerto Rican people for simply wanting our freedom and even before that as soon as they took over the island they began their savagery.
Your journalism is very much appreciated
Entre tantas malas noticias y tantos golpes por lo menos hay alguien haciendo algo positivo en mi islita.Gracias por tu contenido #BiancaGraulau.
I love it…I will donate to this organization whenever I can to help those who thought us about life!!! Dios los bendiga

Pa' que tu veas, ese es mi pueblo. ¡Vivo aquí y ni siquiera sabía de esto! Que maravilloso este projecto.
PR without the USA will be just fine. Gracia por este video. Amo mi isla, palante Puerto Rico.
Damn right.
Correcto!!!! PR necesita independizarse pronto. Solo asi progresaremos. 🇵🇷
Puerto Rico without the USA would turn into Cuba
@@ruthbonilla6178
It’s about damn time someone has finally says this get the U S the fuck out ; they already have proven how much they gave a damn after hurricane Maria; the sucking the resources and destroying the land
My only question is where is the Puerto Rican pride ; it seems there quick to raise that flag but not fight for it
Get the damn Gringos OUT
Gracias Bianca. Esto ha llenado mi espirtu y me hace sentir esperanza por mi pueblo Puerto Rico.
Que alegria me trae esta historia! Bianca you ROCK sigue peliando por nuestra isla 🇵🇷
Love your informative productions.Thumbs up boricua👍🇵🇷
Thank you. This gives me hope
Thanks for sharing. It's nice to know organizations like these exist. At least once a year, I go to PR to help my mom and step-dad out in just about everything. I wish I could go more frequently.
I'm from Aguadilla and would love to be a part of this in some way
Wow! What a breathtaking piece of inspirational storytelling! Artful journalism shining love. Thank you, Bianca. Thank you.
Thank *you* for your support!
@@BiancaGraulau he tratado de comunicarme con usted .. pero no tiene un email aparte ..Tiene unos videos interesante , pero quería saber si hay otros temas que usted no pueda tocar ?
Tremenda labor, necesitamos mas como ustedes. La Biblia nos manda a amar al projimo como a nosotros mismos y eso es lo que ustedes estan demostrando. Un saludo fraternal y sigan adelante.
I love this. Touches my heart . We need to come together as community and keep this going and try to start in more cities around PR💕💪👏 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
This report was beyond heartwarming my friend. 🙏🏼❤️
Bianca pude donar a esta gran causa. Gracias por estos videos y darnos a conocer de tantas injusticias. Hay alguna forma de darte “support”? Tu trabajo es buenísimo. Lo que le hacen a Puerto Rico es tan triste… estos videos dan un poco de luz.
Bianca thank you for showcasing programs like this one! Love the abuelitas, beautiful initiative! Keep up the good work 🤩
Estoy enamorado de mi gente me eriza la piel escuchar y ver este tipo de noticias. Este es un informe increíble, que me hace pensar que por más esfuerzo que hacemos en los Estados para tener un futuro mejor, en realidad terminamos perdiendo más que ganando.
Y asi es Como vamos a quere vivir un sueño Americano si Como Boricua hemos y estamos viviendo un horror bajo un Govierno AMERICANO.
@@ruthbonilla6178 Asi es ya es hora que el pueblo despierte y se una como una sola familia y decir al opresor no mas.
So proud of my people's resilience!!!!!! Love it
Simplemente humano, algo que tanto nos caracteriza!!
Como llore con este video!!! So proud of our elderly being taken care of and loved. Thank you for sharing this beautiful inspirational video.💖💯🙏🏽
Gracias Gracias gracias por este video!!! Pronto vuelvo a PR con mi familia y no puedo esperar a conocer comunidades como estas. Estas son las cosas que me hacen tanto querer volver a mi isla.
Bendición a todas las abuelas. Bendición a todos los abuelos y el amor de Dios los cuide.
This video is sooo beautiful 😭😭😭💖💖💖
Cuán hermosa iniciativa para nosotros los mayores y demás envejecientes muchos de los cuales nos quedamos solos ☝🏾 Otros pueblos debieran de adoptar todo y ésto ☺️ Gracias por compartir 👌🏾
Bianca Graulau I appreciate this story of how our People are feeding the Elderly. Teaching children how to grow their own food. Also providing rain water collection as a way of never being without water after a Hurricane. This is truly going to change the lives of our People. I too have studied these techniques of survival and to sustain one's self without relying on Utilities. Solar Power should be taught as well.
I love your Tik tok videos. Your videos are beautiful and give me hope that things can be better. Keep doing what you’re doing. Follow your heart ❤️
That's good, some people in PR are in a vision for self-reliance, away from the need for U.S. dependence. Those super Adobe look a lot in our Nahuatl sweat lodges: Temazcalli. Good work ya'll.
The U.S. is the one that wants Puerto Rico dependent .
Your amazing!!! Keep up the great work!!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
This is such a beautiful video & beautiful community
for the safe and abordable housing I strongly suggest you people look into domes, DIY aircrete domes are a cheap hurricane and rot resistant solution to explore and adapt !
Amidst a world in turmoil, a beautiful ray of hope & light - thank you Bianca, y a dios nos bendigan todos, y los que ve una futura con liberdad y dignidad por todos ser humanos
Good stuff...thank you Bianca for bringing to us!!..great work 👍😎💯🇵🇷
This is beautiful thing this is what I'm talking about we need to unite together and help each other out not put each other down and hate on each other I love this we need more of this this very inspiring
Our people, love and humbleness is what truly makes our island so special 🇵🇷❤️
Bianca, espectacular!!!!, este tipo de video hace q uno extrañe mas la isla, nuestra gente es la mejor del mundo, VIVA PUERTO RICO!!!!!!
This is more than beautiful!!!! Mi gente buena!!
Wow what a beautiful example of love towards your fellow friend or neighbor I cried because I was abandoned by family and friends I’m 62 years old 63 tomorrow June 22 and that has really moved me to tears to see the love for the abus 🇵🇷❤️👍🏽❤️🇵🇷
Cada vez que veo tus videos me lleno de motivacion para seguir luchando y volver a mi tierra que tanto anhelo,gracias Bianca por tus exelentes trabajos !
Gracias por tu trabajo
Another problem we face is that there are way too many individuals that refuse to work, period. In order to succeed ✨️ we must produce.
Regardless of the political situation we are facing (politicians come and go but me must keep an eye 👁 on them) we have to work and produce to ensure the progress we all want.
We must brake the lazy cycle of expect the government to fix all our problems. Yes, the Government must solve problems but we must help by not being so dependent. If we stay dependent we are easily manipulated but if we study, learn and work there's no way to manipulated a solvent society.
YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT THEM LAZY ASS RICAN, THE RINCAN THAT LOVE THE FREE STUFF FROM AMERICA,LIKE FOOD STAMPS, FREE CASERIOS , FREE MEDICIN AND FREE CEMENTERIOS.
This is beautiful. It amazes me how the locals gave up the right to grow their own food over the years in such a rich and fertile land.
Boricua aqui en Alaska, Gracias, The Love Shared Endures Forever,🌴🙏🏽🕊
That is amazing God bless everybody that’s doing something for somebody I wish I could’ve seen the house inside it looks so lovely
es nuestra isla
🇵🇷💗
Beautiful project! Best Wishes! Thanks for sharing! Miguel 🇵🇷
This is absolutely beautiful I would love to do something like this. or some day have the honor to work for them ! I was raised in the USA and both my parents were born and raised in Puerto Rico❤️ This is wonderful. And, I believe it would help so many people on the island
Its wonderful and inspiring to see a story about the people of Puerto Rico showing a positive and loving community of people doing for others and empowering the youth to do better. Bravo I know that there are many more stories to tell and show the world that Puerto Rico is on the mend and it will be greater than ever. I am the son of proud Puetto Rican parents and despite the fact that I was not blessed with being born there, I was taught at an early age to love and be proud of Puerto Rico and I thanks my parents for the lessons taught.
Your stories are so informing....thank you for all your work. For a Puerto Rican born on the island, but living in the states I keep informed by your stories. Keep up your GREAT WORK. God Bless you and your team.
Sentido de comunidad y ayuda al prójimo es la clave para salir adelante. Las quejas no llegan a logros, solo la acción con actitud positiva. Felicitaciones a este grupo, Plenitud PR.
Life purpose. Well done full of inspiration!
GRACIAS Bianca por este y todos tus trabajos
Hermoso!! Me encantó este video. Excelentes corazones. Buen trabajo. Gracias por compartirlo. Nuestra gente es resiliente.

Gracias, Bianca! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
That is an amazing initiative
Bianca I am so glad you became an independent journalist. Thank you for sharing.
Que lindo el video y el esfuerzo de esta gente. Grandes.
Acho! Bendito, que buen documental!!! You are ALWAYS on it my lady, working HARD representing PR to the fullest mamita linda y preciosa!
Oye Bianca, como yo podria ser voluntario para esto?
O ya lo dijiste ahi pa arriba, my bad.
I’m so glad to be a Patreon of yours for your devotion to helping and journalistic work. Godspeed.
I just want to say…. How haven’t you reached a million subscribers yet. You are an amazing human being with so much positivity and resilience. Keep doing an amazing job. You are most definitely inspiring those who cannot speak up for themselves. Wepa 🇵🇷
I really love and appreciate all your amazing journalism and eye for what really needs to be brought forth to the world on how we as the people of the lands that are always wrongfully treated and robbed. I’m Hawaiian and we are the ones that are being robbed without no voice or power
Gracias Bianca y Al proyecto maravilloso que forman estas grandes personas, esperemos que un poco de Los millonarios regguetoneros se unan a esta noble causa!!☀️🏝️🌫️🕊️♥️
Hola Bianca, Excelente documental ilustrando el poder comunitario de auto-sustenibilidad.
No way! I was just reading their permaculture guide Siembra Boricua. Thanks for featuring them!
Que historia tan bella!! Una inspiracion de seguro.
Amo la gente linda de mi isla, gente asi es la que nos representa, llenas de amor y compasión por el prójimo. Esto es lo que me hace extrañar a mi isla, mi gente bella.
A journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step. Congratulations
Me había perdido éste. ¡Qué belleza!! ¡Bravo, Plenitud! Y gracias, Bianca ❤
Qué orgullo ser Boricua, mis abuelos siempre compartiron comida con los vecinos,y ellos con mi abuelos no solo eran vecinos eran familia
Así es mi gente no como la quieren pintar.🇵🇷❤️
Bianca, quiero que sepas que tu talento y tu don de contar estas increíbles historias son una gran inspiración para muchos como yo. Tengo 20 años y a pesar que dedique mis estudios a la ingeniería, toda mi vida he querido de alguna manera u otra involucrarme en el área de la agricultura. Sin embargo, a través de los años conseguir inspiración o apoyo para meterle mano a ese sueño fue bien dificil. Al ver estos testimonios de tantas comunidades e individuos que han logrado hacer un cambio significativo, me reasegura y me motiva a seguir trabajando por algún día también tener mi propia finca y aportar a que algún día obtengamos esa soberanía alimenticia que tanto necesitamos.
Que Lindo me as echo llorar.
Gracias mil por hacer este mini-documental. Un sueño en mi corazón realizado por Plenitud!
This is I love and see I love what youths is doing !fact I can't said about me but I love Puerto Rico 💯💪🔥
I love love love this! Thank you Bianca for showing us videos of the amazing work Puerto Ricans are doing in their own community! I was born in Illinois, but watching videos like this make me want to move to PR to help be part of the solution and help our people. I've always felt a strong emotional and spiritual pull to learning more about the island, it's nature, music, history, and just experciencing all for myself. I would love to be part of things like this. I hope that some day I can.
Eso mi gente. Dios me los bendiga. Tremendo trabajo. Que Dios les multiplique todo en bendiciones.
This just broke me💔 We r a culture of loving and helpful people we may not have enough and we would still share the bits we have! This oppress system that has waved in to Puerto Rico has changed whom we r! but Maria thought us humility again and we have come together like our abuelitas though us🙌My grandma used to feed the homeless the drug users and that used to full filled her with joy🙇🏽♀️we need to walk away from that materialistic ways that has infected our community and go back to helping our neighbor instead of acting like strangers! Thanks to all those putting their seeds to recuperate our loved ones🤝🙌🫶🏾🌻🙏😇🥂
Keep doing what u do mommi.
I love this video. It brings hope. Thank you!
I'M SO HAPPY!
I am
So proud to be a boricua 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Que lindo
