Learning Center to benefit 500 in Central Mexico

In August of this year we were able to reopen our doors and offer some of our regular workshops as well as add some new opportunities. We continue to work in small groups outside, requiring facemasks, monitoring temperature etc. 

We have volunteers teaching English to two seperate age groups and twice a week we have two volunteers who are tutoring our Primary school age kids and our Secundary age kids. This is something that we knew we would need to do, but could not have imagined just how necessary and succesful it would be.

We have always had a dance and movement class however now, we have a young volunteer from the United States sharing her talent to the girls in ballet once a week.  What's the saying? Open your doors and they will come. We did and they have!

It is with continued donations from our generous supporters and the many volunteers we appreciate so much, that we have successfully reopened!

We have reinforced the structural and security wall and are excited to show off Ojala and San Miguel Viejos new mural! The children brainstormed four main ideas that they wanted to represent.They are;

The Capilla built in 1542 in the community of San Miguel Viejo. The traditional Indios Conqusitas (Apache Dancers). Corn, a staple of the indigenous and modern day Mexican. Our beautiful Parroquia in San Miguel Allende. (San Miguel Grande) We have the heart of Mexico in the middle, as we are geographically located in El Corazon de Mexico! We worked with another local non profit organization who supports street muralists to help guide our kids and the staff! 

Take a look at day 2 on our wall!

Enternally grateful
