Thank you for your support and accompaniment during this year.

A year has passed since we started with this project, a process that we have gradually started, carrying out activities to instill in children and adolescents a sense of belonging and prevent them from leaving their communities. All this thanks to the support we receive from each of you.

l In these first months of the year, we have carried out follow-up activities to the initiatives with young people and adolescents that were established in the year of the project.

Support and training in organization, administration and inventory management continues.
We carry out activities for the integration of children and adolescents.
More girls, boys and adolescents have been integrated into activities in the communities with which we currently work.

Thank you very much for your help, with this we have reached the communities to carry out more integration activities, training for young people and adolescents, so that with this we can improve their living conditions, through community initiatives that allow them to stay in their communities, thus avoiding migration.

We also continue to invite you to visit our other projects hosted at https://www.globalgiving.org/donate/61768/xilotl-asociacion-para-el-desarrollo-social-a-c/

Community Initiatives in Times of COVID

Thanks to the donations and support we receive, we have made progress with the training of women, who during this health crisis sought a way to obtain additional income for their family, starting enterprises with the support of our organization.

- We trained two groups of women, from different communities, in the formation of savings banks to improve the economy of families
- A group of women who are dedicated to weaving have been trained in new forms and styles of embroidery for their products.
- A group of young women has started with an initiative of articles for the hair with handmade embroidery, which allows them to generate extra income.
- More women have joined and are actively participating in ventures that have already been established for longer, which helps them obtain additional income for their family, avoiding migration to other states in the country.

We appreciate that you are part of this work.
Thank you!

We had to suspend activities because of COVID19

***English Version***

We had to suspend activities because of COVID19.

Since mid-March, due to the preventive measures declared by COVID19, we suspended the activities we carried out with children and youth in the indigenous communities of Chiapas.

However, progress was made with::

The formation of a group of 6 young people from the community of Jerusalem, from Ocosingo, Chiapas, who have established a bakery, which is in operation generating an economic income for themselves and their families.

The panorama of COVID19 is uncertain, however, thanks to the donations received in the project https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/mitigation-of-covid-19-in-indigenous-communities/ we were able to bring families of these young people, supplies that facilitate the prevention of contagion, such as face masks and antibacterial gel, as well as cleaning products.

Currently we are gradually taking up activities, trying to comply with the recommended prevention measures, encouraging communities where we have an incidence to do the same.

We thank all those who have supported us with their donations, we also want to invite you to visit our other projects at https://www.globalgiving.org/donate/61768/xilotl-asociacion-para-el-desarrollo-social-ac/ .

Thank you for being part of this journey!

Tuvimos que suspender actividades por la COVID19.

Desde mediados de marzo debido a las medidas de prevención declaradas por el COVID19 suspendimos las actividades que realizábamos con niños, niñas y jóvenes en las comunidades indígenas de Chiapas.

Sin embargo, se pudo avanzar con:

La conformación de un grupo de 6 jóvenes de la comunidad de Jerusalén, de Ocosingo, Chiapas, que han establecido una panadería, la cual está en funcionamiento generando un ingreso económico para ellos y sus familias.

El panorama de la COVID19 es incierto, sin embargo, gracias a las donaciones recibidas en el proyecto https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/mitigation-of-covid-19-in-indigenous-communities/ pudimos llevar a las familias de estos jóvenes, insumos que faciliten la prevención de contagio, como cubrebocas y gel antibacterial, al igual que productos de limpieza.

Actualmente estamos poco a poco retomado las actividades, procurando cumplir con las medidas de prevención recomendadas, incentivando a las comunidades donde tenemos incidencia a hacer lo mismo.

Agradecemos a todas y todos quienes nos han apoyado con sus donaciones, también queremos invitarles a visitar nuestros otros proyectos en https://www.globalgiving.org/donate/61768/xilotl-asociacion-para-el-desarrollo-social-a-c/.

¡Gracias por ser parte de este caminar!
