Learning Center to benefit 500 in Central Mexico

We all hoped that with the end of last year, it would be the end of the worst of Covid! The children in San Miguel Viejo  prepared to return to regular school classes in person and then the new strain of the virus hit. The children have returned only two (2) days a week to their formal classes. Continuing with precaution Ojala Ninos collected 76 back packs for the children, each with very basic supplies and socks! This brought many smiles and much appreciation from the parents. 

We have managed to provide weekly tutoring to the kids in first grade through 9th grade, here in Mexico that is the completion of Secundaria. This is a tremendous help as many in the community do not have internet access and miss their virtual classes.

We also offer English classes and continue distributing at home activity kits using only recycled materials with a social justice or environmental awareness theme when possible. Sometimes its something just for fun!

Every Wednesday when the kids come through for their activity kit, we give them lunch. On the other days after the small workshops we are allowed to facilitate, they also receive a snack.

We continue to take temperatures and face masks are obligatory. We are working on the lot now with open air class rooms in mind. Uncertain times are still ahead yet we are moving forward, being more creative in our ways to offer opportunities to the children of San Miguel Viejo.

Thank you for your continued support

Sincerely Grateful
