In Oaxaca City the first cases of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) are starting to appear. The government has closed public spaces, schools, and government offices. No vendors are allowed on city streets and few people are to be seen. Out of an abundance of caution, to protect both our children and staff, Centro de Esperanza Infantil will be closed for 15 days. During this time we have taken steps to ensure a food supply for the children most in need in our program and we have provided a contact for families we serve should they need help. At the end of the 15 day period, we will reassess the situation and determine how to best serve our participating children, young adults, and their families. 

People worldwide are going through a difficult time as we seek to control Coronavirus. At Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots/Centro de Esperanza Infantil we are concerned that the pandemic will make life even harder for those in our program. We are committed to providing our vital services and ask for your continued support changing children’s lives through education in 2020. Many thanks to our donors, sponsors, and friends around the world! Be safe as we work our way through this situation.
