End of School Year

Post pandemic school year 2021-2022 had a hard time incorporating teaching and learning under COVID regulations. The student´s school attendance continued with a weekly rotating calendar all through the end of the school year. To start a hybrid education meant to create new routines and schedules where Sarahuaro school kitchens adapted to it and created new strategies in order to not let any children in the program without feeding. Sarahuaro gave the parents the option to pick up the children´s lunch when the student had to stay home. And kept feeding children during days off and long weekends.
Sociability among the students was finally more permitted by the end of the year, and the use of masks, hand cleaning, and the use of antiseptic will continue until new notice.
We had gift distributions during special occasions and made big smiles experiences for our beneficiaries. We are so grateful for your donations! THANK YOU!

Back To Normality

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.

Return to School
Finally, after a 2-year lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, public schools in Cabo Mexico reopen with the exception of schools that were vandalized during the pandemic. This is the case of one of the schools where Sarahuaro has a kitchen to feed school children. Although Sarahuaro hasn't stopped feeding children beneficiaries that belong to this school. Fortunately one of the schools reopen for face-to-face education and Sarahuaro is feeding children at the school under the student's attendance calendar the school incorporated, and with the new classes, strategies to avoid contagions.
Children's school time experience has changed. Not only is about to wear a mask the whole day during school time but also they are not allowed to play with each other and the way school makes sure that, is by not letting them have a school break. There are no more school breaks as it just to be. Children are only allowed to have a 15 minutes break for lunch only, and they have to sit and be spread in the school eating in different spots and as much separated as possible.
The return to face-to-face classes is not mandatory. Parents have the right to decide to send their children to school or keep education through the use of whats app communication with teachers.
However, Sarahuaro hasn't stopped feeding children during the pandemic
