Feeding Children and Families

Finally, after 2 years of school lockdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we are currently feeding children as we just to do it before the pandemic!  Children are currently gathering on the Sarahuaro dining terrace of the Leonardo Gastelum Elementary School,  and at the dining palapa in the Nueva, Creación Elementary School.  Both public schools are located in the most impoverished areas of Cabo San Lucas Baja California Mexico. During the first school semester when schools reopen starting September 2021, Mexico also went through the second wave of the pandemic, and not all parents sent their kids to school. The school students' rotations and the covid regulation of healthy distance made the school experience complex and uncomfortable for kids, teachers, and parents. Even though we reached the families and feed them through the lockdown we couldn't protect them from the negative impact such as social, emotional, and learning lag all these circumstances have had.

Not until the beginning of April did schools announce that after Easter break all children will attend school every day, from Monday through Friday.   Being that our dining spaces are beautifully full of children, and with the spirit of joy and service, we feed children a warm healthy meal every day just as we used before the pandemic lockdown.
