We work on the southern coast of Oaxaca with rehabilitation, social integration, information, awareness, and prevention of all forms of disabilities (physical, intellectual or behavioral), regardless of the severity of the disability, the chances of paying and / or ethnicity.
We believe that working with people with disabilities is not a matter of kindness, but to assert their human rights. Extreme poverty and various social problems add to the challenge of Pineapple. The focus of our work is the respect for differences and the formation of an inclusive society. The center's efforts focus on changing the way people look at disabled people locally, promoting awareness and rehabilitation programs for families, local Schools and Communities.
These programs teach people how to use adaptive equipment and therapeutic techniques and general care of the disabled. Then, children and adults with disabilities become more integrated into their everyday life.
We are a Civil Association, constituted legally entitled to extend tax deductible receipts for donations received.
Since our foundation have participated in our programs over 5000 children and adults with various disabilities. Now 350 people participate in our programs (20% boys, 35% youth, 35% adults, 10% elderly) ...
We dream of a society in which there is room for everyone recognizing and respecting differences.
Candelaria Loxicha greets all the children of Guillermo Monteforte (Mexico, 2011).
The honorable mention was awarded to "Candelaria Loxicha greets all children", because there are children who are poor, must live on what nature gives them and it teaches us to appreciate the things we have. They need to wake up and go for their food, we just gave up and we ask our parents to make us breakfast. We teach about animals, flora, how they live, how they dress, what they do for food and how do different things to us. videocartas.ojodeaguacomunicacion.org
