Be a hero for vulnerable children in Mexico

In the month of October the annual sports tournament of Crecemos DIJO was held, which had the motto: Compete to share, and aimed to promote healthy and peaceful coexistence among children who attend our socio-sports schools. The tournament was held in San Francisco Chindúa rural community in the Mixteca region of Oaxaca with the participation of 100 children from 5 different schools.
For Crecemos DIJO, sport is fundamental in the development of children, for this reason we offer spaces in which children practice sports from an educational perspective complemented with values promotion, school monitoring, academic reinforcement, surveillance and nutritional education, skills for Life, among others.
The promotion of values is a characteristic feature of training (basketball or soccer) for example: arriving on time, being responsible, respecting their peers or working in teams are values that children have acquired in a colony with high rates of violence. This is already a very important achievement that can be given a space in which more than 100 families live harmoniously.
The school is also an important pillar in the child's life, and our goal is to ensure that children can have higher school levels and do not drop out of school at the basic level and then be in criminal gangs. To achieve this goal, academic tutoring is provided, thanks to which it has been possible to raise the academic level of children and keep them in school.
With nutritional surveillance it has been possible to reduce malnutrition rates and improve the eating habits of children and their families.
Thanks to your contribution Crecemos DIJO continues to work for the children of Oaxaca with models that impact their life and development.
