Support our Centre for Disable Children in Mexico

Dear Supporters,

There are some restrictions on social gatherings in Mexico to avoid the spread of COVID-19 among the population, schools and other public areas are closed, including Save the Children Ludotecas. For this reason, new and different projects have been developed to continue supporting children in Quintana Roo. 

Return to normal activities in the most touristic region in Mexico is still uncertain, even that some economic activities have begun, the schools and recreational areas are still closed, for this reason, Save the Children staff have developed new projects that comply with the federal recommendations and do not compromise the safety of the children that participate at their programs. 

In the previous quarterly report, we described how the virtual ludotecas were created as safe virtual spaces for children and their families to stay engaged with Save the Children projects. Using social media posts, Save the Children staff prepared relevant information and activities for children and their families to practice while they are safe at home, on those posts, there is information that includes, how to better prepare for hurricanes, the impacts of COVID-19 on children, physical and crafts activities with parents, important facts about new-borns and child exploitation, etc. 

This is an amazing initiative and it has boosted their Facebook fan page, but it is not the only one. Save the Children and other partners in Quintana Roo are developing a project to reach and inform youth in the urban and rural areas of the state about addiction prevention, GVI Trust have committed to support the project. 

There is no direct participation from our volunteers or staff at the ludotecas, but we are prepared to start as soon as the ludotecas resume their activities and volunteers start coming to help. The partnership between Save the Children in Quintana Roo, GVI Trust is strong and we continue the communications to support Children welfare and youth addiction prevention. 

Help us to continue fundraising for the children in Mexico, it is important that you join the efforts for a better and brighter future for them, by donating, you are supporting SDG 3 and 4 providing Good Health & Well-being and Quality Education to the most vulnerable. 

Save the Children in Quintana Roo, GVI Trust continue providing support to local children and youth, by developing and supporting initiatives that aim a healthier life and facilitate access to an integral education.  

A very big thnk you for all the support we are receiving.

With Gratitude,

Mexico Children
