Celebrating Hernando at Westport

At Westport, they’re blessed with people whose kindness, talents, and smiles light up their days. Among them, one name always brings warmth to their hearts, Hernando. Known for his generosity, love for cooking, and the desire to help others, Hernando has become a true treasure in the Westport community.

Every morning at 6am, Hernando greets the day with energy and purpose. His first stop is the garden, where he carefully waters each plant, helping flowers flourish. It’s more than a chore for him it’s a quiet act of love, a way to nurture life and bring beauty to everyone’s day.

But Hernando’s caring doesn’t stop there. Whether it’s lending a hand to a fellow friend at Westport or offering help to the team, he’s always looking for ways to make someone’s day easier and brighter. And when it comes to food well, that’s where his heart truly shines.

Whenever there’s a BBQ party, Hernando is the star of the show, tending to the grill and serving up his famous BBQ chicken that everyone looks forward to. With his warm smile and generous spirit, he turns each gathering into more than just a meal, it’s a celebration of togetherness.

On hot afternoons, you’ll often find him in the kitchen blending up milkshakes to keep everyone cool or preparing colourful fruit mixes to share. Sometimes, he’ll even pop into the lounge and ask, “Shall I make sandwiches for supper?” and before long, plates are filled, and stomachs are happy. Hernando says, “I love to feed people I see, and I love helping the team if needed.”

Hernando’s kindness goes far beyond cooking. It’s in the way he notices when someone might need a hand, or how he gives his time without ever expecting anything in return. He reminds Westport daily that community is built on small acts of care, shared laughter, and the joy of giving.
