Well yes, born in “Bucara-Pan-Ga”, is an ordinary person, like you, like me, but with a very big heart and dreamsAnd whether it rains, thunders, or lightning, he fulfills his duty to help his neighbor. He lives to serve others.

His story

So, Pancracio YeastA bakery assistant, not very experienced, would ask for leftover bread at his workplace to take to people in need every time he finished his workday.

But sometimes, he needed a larger quantity of bread to benefit more people on the streets. So he sneaked into the bakery to do some testing. He believed that by adding more yeast to the mix, he would get many more units of the wheat flour-based staple.

What he achieved was a huge explosion. Getting stronger bones, a body full of dough and because of so much yeast, his heart grew enormouslyAnd so he began to multiply the bread.

This way, SuperPan, puts on her outfit on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to go out in her fast “Ves-Pan”. And using their Super-pan-deres distributes bread and juice to the homeless, children, immigrants, and even animals..

How did it begin?

It was a moment of prayer, when he was buying a Bible for his mother. When he opened it, He asked God to teach him something with which he could help others., without being just another one of the crowd.

He understood what he had to do, and then, in the quiet of the night before going to sleep, he managed to piece together the puzzle of different ideas; everything began to flow. Meanwhile, he drew and captured his idea for the paladin's birth.

On the other hand, his family initially disagreed because of the dangers of being exposed to the street. Later, they accepted him, seeing that his project went further. After a year, it came to light, in other words, to be seen on the streets.

How does he do it?

In fact, as it says SuperPan, the doses of bread that Gifts in the "masa-politana" area of "Bucara-Pan-Ga" come from heaven, by a God who allows him to work to obtain resources. He also has people who are always ready to help with money or food and juice.

Although, sometimes, you may be tired, from work, from staying up late, but When he dresses and asks God, he feels recharged with energy., to continue their good work.

The Ves-Pan

To carry out his social work, he needed a means of transportation. He was undecided, but in the end, he decided on the most practical. With a motorcycle, he could reach hard-to-reach places and travel around the city in less time.

While visiting a friend, she saw they had several motorcycles. She immediately fell in love with one of them; it happened to belong to her acquaintance. She didn't want to sell it until SuperPan, told him his idea, so he couldn't resist selling him his Vespa brand motorcycle.

Thus, with heart and desire, he brings us phrases like “help us help” written in the compartment of your Ves-Pan motorcycle, “Yeast, yeast, give me muscle” either “Let’s fight for our daily bread”. In addition, it is important to mention that is forming a gang, with other superheroes joining in.

Now, just imagine what these real superheroes could accomplish when the project is complete. They'll touch even more hearts, both among those in need and those who witness these acts of humanity.

It may not be easy, as there are people who want to profit from these activities. Likewise, others will try to hinder these good deeds.
