Hello again!
Thank you for continuing to be part of this effort to provide better spaces for the development of indigenous children in Chiapas. Over the last few months, we have supported more than 70 children across three city markets.
One of the key activities we have facilitated involves reflecting on how to improve their living environments; even from early childhood, children offer valuable and interesting insights for creating better living spaces.
That is why we turn to theater as a tool for artistic, creative, and playful expression—a space where children can express themselves without judgment, share their experiences, and help build better societies. It also strengthens the motor skills needed to stage their performances.
We have also supported efforts to reinforce educational skills, helping them start the new school year with renewed enthusiasm.
Here is a video showing the puppet-making process and the presentation of their work: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1E99TpRgTD/
Thank you for continuing to be an ally to children! Together, we can keep building safe spaces for children in Chiapas.
