Resilient childhood and youth, indigenous cosmovision
Today we want to thank you for the generous contributions to our project “Migration: roots of belonging in the Lacandon Jungle”. With your help, we have been able to intensify activities with girls, boys and young people from indigenous Tzeltal communities of the Lacandon Jungle, promoting development based on their own worldview, culture, traditions, language, and their system of uses and customs so that they actively develop in their environment and for the good life in your community.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected families in the municipality of Ocosingo, Chiapas. Although in the state as well as the communities in which we work, the rate of infections has been lower compared to the rest of the republic, we carry out all our activities with strict adherence to the recommendations of the secretary of health to maintain the safety and integrity of our groups goal and the team itself.
During the last months:
We are facing a complex situation at the national and international level, however our purpose is to strengthen the resilience capacity of children and young people so that they do not migrate from their communities in these circumstances, this is possible thanks to your collaboration.
