Hello friends,
I'd like to share some of the athletic classes we have. They are a vital part of our community program. Soccer, "Futbol" as it is called in Mexico, is the number one sport. Even in the most impoverished communities you will find at least a make shift soccer field. We have a soccer team as well as a boxing class. Both these sports are known to build endurance, self confidence, improve coordination, help lower body fats well as numerous other benefits.
The kids, they are just having fun. We procured shoes for the kids and held our first Partido de Futbol this past week. No one scored which makes it a good game! Please see our proud team in pictures below.
We continue to add new classes and workshops as we see the needs of the community grow. This past week we held a workshop for the mother's dealing with a variety of issues and how to better cope. After the workshop, kids and mothers and staff had a hot dog and marshmallow roast.
All this is possible thanks to your interest and support. Now that we have a functioning building, we can focus on the services we provide in a safe secure center. As many of you know, we started in the founders patio and the dirt lot next door.
What we are doing is working and we appreciate everyone's effort and support.
Sincerely
Betty Lopez
