Hello friends of Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots:
The Covid-19 pandemic and the damage it has done to the tourist industry continues to hit Oaxaca state hard. Today's statistics are: 12,994 known cases of Covid and 1,193 deaths. Needless to say we are deeply concerned for the many suffering with Covid-19 in Oaxaca City and State.
Oaxaca is no longer classified by the Mexican government as a Red zone and has been moved back through Orange to the Yellow level.
We have completed all renovations at the center such as partitions between each computer in the computer lab (see pictures below) to help keep everyone at the center as safe as possible. Likewise protocols such as hand washing and masks are now in place as we begin to work toward full restoration of our operations. (Food distribution will continue as well until the crisis passes.)
School has resumed via television and radio. We are worried that this education model will be difficult for our marginalized students and believe it is essential to get them back in the center for Saturday tutoring classes so they don't fall behind.
Thank you for your past support and please remember that during this critical time your support continues to be vital to our work. On behalf of the children, young adults, and families we serve- We appreciate you!
Dave Slaymaker, OSCGR President
