The Community Center in Tzununá is growing with the increased support we are having. Clases and activities continued during this pass three months since last report. We love to see children, young people and women showing up for their trainings and improving their skills. The opportunities for training are not many in our small village so this opens doors for future jobs.
We had great support from new volunteers to start a drum and motivation clases once a week to promote consistency with children. This music clases started by a local project that provided one volunteer (Miel) that donated time and many new drums. A guitar teacher approached us to teach guitar clases with children. This was asked by many boys that want to learn guitar. Hope that girls join soon!! The Music Academy is growing and this is so much needed in this community were children and young people cannot pay for music clases. New talents appear and we can see future musicians being supported. The children are so happy to be able to engage in music clases and discover that if they come and practice their abilities increase.
The students that are with scholarships in Culinary clases finished the training and now are ready for the last part of this year: internships in a restaurant or hotel for one month! This training is so important as when they finish next December they will be ready to find jobs. This empowers woman and men and gives them a life time skill to have a job and sustain themselves and their families.
Our donors increased and we had a great Little by Little week with lots of new donors. This will allow us to continue our programs and add more activities. Thank you all the new donors. We are very pleased to report that besides the difficult times we managed to keep going and provide many opportunities for Education and Art!
Planing to finally build our playground for the children in the coming months and we opened up the inscriptions for 2022 scholarships with new courses added to the offerings!
The children, young people and woman are grateful for the donors that help us open up doors, expand and grow!!
