A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .
Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.ivan

Four weeks after the passage of Hurricane Agatha, the rehabilitation center for people with disabilities on the isthmus of Oaxaca remains closed. They need help to rebuild the roofs and also to recover the teaching equipment

MEXICO CITY.- By telephone, Flavia Anau recounts:
“We need to rebuild roofs, which were highly damaged, raise the demolished spaces, such as the carpentry, which is a basic space to live independently. And we need to recover the didactic materials and the equipment…well, almost everything”, he finally says.
Flavia is the general coordinator of Piña Palmera, a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities that is in the municipality of Pochutla, Oaxaca, and that for 30 years has served the populations and communities most affected by poverty in the coastal region. and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
It does so from a community perspective, not charity, which means that it seeks to give tools to people who have a disability so that they can integrate into the community.
The call for help to the Pie de Página team is made by Carmina Hernández, a workshop facilitator from Piña Palmera, who communicates through Facebook and then by mail, to alert us of the situation in which the center is, a month after Hurricane Ágatha passed by the coast and collapsed everything.
“Dear Daniela, thank you for being open to listening to the tragedy that Piña Palmera is experiencing due to the hurricane, it has not been easy for the media to give us a voice. She has been working with them since 1996 and is an outstanding job with people with disabilities and their families in indigenous and / or rural communities. Since before the tragedy I sought to publicize it, because Piña is better known and recognized in other countries than in Mexico, ”says the message that she sent us by email, accompanied by photos and videos.
Like her are Malena, José, Paz, Toño, Alejandro, Misael and Cristian. People with different disabilities who have become teachers, responsible for activities and a central part of the project.
Six hours of rain destroy three decades of work
Hundreds of people with disabilities have passed through Piña Palmera, 30 years of work that has only been interrupted by the hurricane that made landfall four weeks ago 10 kilometers from Zipolite, the famous beach that is next to the rehabilitation center.
Until that moment, the center gave care to about 500 people, with different disabilities. It had permanent workshops for electricity, carpentry, cooking. And visits to communities such as Cosoaltepec, Santo Domingo, Las Cuevas, Zipolite, Puerto Escondido, Candelaria.
The hurricane that entered on May 30 destroyed 80 percent of the center. Three decades of work collapsed in six hours of rain.
“Do you remember there was a bridge? It was very small and there the trees got stuck and the water could no longer be stopped, which entered with an impressive force,” Flavia narrates on the phone.
He also says that when the governor, Alejandro Murat, arrived the next day, "he made a frightened face, because it was a disaster" and they sent the Army to help lift the trees. Then it was his wife, the president of the state DIF, who sent them a backhoe that worked for two days. She also donated mattresses to them.
But after that, the work has been of the volunteers. And help comes slowly. After four weeks, just this weekend they were able to get the internet back.
“We need the active participation of people because alone and alone we are not going to be able to rebuild what is required,” says Flavia.

Agatha arrasó a ONG que apoya a personas con discapacidad
El fenómeno meteorológico destruyó 90 por ciento de las instalaciones de Piña Palmera y frenó la terapia de más de 500 menores y adultos provenientes de comunidades indígenas

El huracán Agatha acabó con 90 por ciento de instalaciones de Piña Palmera, organización civil ubicada en Zipolite, Oaxaca, que brinda atención a más de 500 personas con discapacidad de comunidades indígenas del estado.
Voluntarios y colaboradores del centro llevan a cabo todos los días trabajos de limpieza y escombro, después de que salones y cuartos quedaron bajo el lodo y completamente inhabitables. Además, no tienen energía eléctrica ni agua potable.
Flavia Anau, coordinadora general de Piña Palmera, lamentó que, en cinco horas, este fenómeno meteorológico echó abajo el trabajo de cerca de cuatro décadas de la organización, que realiza labores de rehabilitación e inclusión en localidades de la costa y la sierra sur de Oaxaca.
“Destruyó 38 años de trabajo en pocos momentos. Tiró todo, tiró casas, se llevó lo que había adentro, todos los insumos de trabajo, hablando de los más sencillos, como colchones, camas, ventilador, refrigeradores, toda el área pedagógica que teníamos también; se llevó todo, todo, todo.
“90 por ciento de nuestras instalaciones fue averiado. Nosotros vivimos en un lugar caluroso, los techos son de palma, la mayoría de los techos fu dañada, la casa se fue totalmente y obviamente las estructuras de las casas se quedaron llenas de lodo, entonces hay que sacarlo”, dijo.
Paulina Montañez, colaboradora de la organización, narró que los talleres y los centros para menores y adultos con discapacidad quedaron inservibles. También se perdieron libros, juguetes y el material para las terapias de niños con esta condición.
“Este es el trabajo central de Piña, tenemos cada miércoles una actividad que se llama intervención temprana, donde vienen niños y niñas, y es un proceso de ir aprendiendo a través del juego. Se enseña lengua de señas, baile… aprenden a través del juego.
“Todo nuestro material de trabajo está perdido; en la ludoteca teníamos libros y juegos, y 80 por ciento o hasta un poco más está perdido. El agua subió como metro y medio, entonces los libros, los juguetes y las pinturas, todo, se perdió”, lamentó.
Flavia Anau explicó que en estos momentos Piña Palmera no puede operar, por lo que el proceso de rehabilitación e inclusión de cientos de oaxaqueños con discapacidad y sus familias quedó interrumpido.
“Estamos ahora a marchas forzadas intentando limpiar, porque no podemos continuar con las actividades, ni las que teníamos aquí, ni ir a las comunidades, ya que también nuestro transporte se inundó”, sostuvo Anau.
“Necesitamos manos”
Antonio Martínez Pacheco, quien se mueve en silla de ruedas, llegó hace ocho años a Piña Palmera sin hablar ni valerse por sí mismo. Tras recibir terapias y rehabilitación en el centro, hoy es una persona independiente y se encarga de la tienda, donde venden productos hechos por voluntarios y colaboradores.
Toño reconoció que se siente triste al ver a Piña Palmera prácticamente destruida por el paso de Agatha. “Se perdieron muchas cosas”, declaró.
El día del impacto del huracán, el pasado 30 de mayo, Antonio y otras tres personas con discapacidad física quedaron atrapados en este centro. Su rescate fue posible gracias a que los voluntarios los sacaron en una tina.
Flavia Anau, quien estimó que Piña Palmera quedará rehabilitada aproximadamente en seis meses, reconoció que falta personal para llevar a cabo las labores de limpieza y remoción, por lo que pidió la colaboración del Ejército y de la Marina. “Necesitamos muchas manos”, aseguró.
También requieren de ayuda económica, ya que los costos de reparación ascienden a 4 millones de pesos. Los interesados pueden donar a la cuenta 09400502588, a nombre de CAI Piña Palmera A.C. de Scotiabank Inverlat 044.
Estiman que la reconstrucción del inmueble tarde al menos seis meses y cueste al menos 4 millones de pesos

Oaxaca, Oaxaca. “He hit hard and with all his might,” says Verónica Méndez, one of the victims of Hurricane Agatha, who lost everything. For a week, the affected families and towns of the coast and southern highlands of Oaxaca add up to 17,000 victims, according to official figures. But the figures do not count or speak of the human need of those who were left with nothing.
Piña Palmera is a Children's Care and Rehabilitation Center that was devastated and requires solidarity from everyone to rebuild and function again as it has done for 30 years, when it opened its doors in Zipolite, Oaxaca.
More than 100 minors and adults are cared for in this place, mostly indigenous people from the coast and southern highlands of Oaxaca, who receive free treatment for any disability, reported Nayeli Souza, a Piña Palmera volunteer.
"With the rains that Agatha left behind, the rivers filled and overflowed, the water and mud reached almost a meter and a half in height and entered the rehabilitation center to take everything away," he stressed in a telephone interview with Disinformémonos .
Nothing was left of the furniture, equipment and rehabilitation devices, says the young volunteer, so "we have to start over, requesting solidarity from the entire community."
Piña Palmera survives receiving donations. It has been like this for three decades, and with this flood 80 percent of its facilities were affected, emphasized Nayeli Souza, who stressed that the sole purpose of this center is to continue helping the indigenous families of Oaxaca.
“80 percent of our facilities were damaged by the rains. They were sites dedicated to the care and attention of people with severe disabilities. The workshops, houses and rooms of the staff and volunteers were totally destroyed, as well as the hydraulic and electrical installations, and all telephone and internet communication services,” he said.
In addition, it reported that the absolute loss of equipment and furniture of all kinds was recorded, including those necessary to carry out therapies, mobilize people with severe disabilities and care for them in critical situations.
“Today, Piña Palmera needs all of us for its reconstruction,” says Nayeli, and although she makes an urgent call to the three levels of government, her trust is in civil society, which, she assures, has always supported them.
“We want to build a world where it is less difficult to love”
“We want to build a world where it is less difficult to love” is Piña Palmera's dream and she emphasizes it on her website, citing the critical thought of the Brazilian pedagogue Paulo Freire.
In Piña Palmera all its members are equal. There are founders and volunteers like Nayeli Souza, who emphasizes that she urgently needs to rebuild this space that helps hundreds of families from two regions of Oaxaca.
Since its foundation, more than 5,000 minors and adults with different disabilities have participated in its programs. Now 635 people participate in their centers, where the population they serve is divided into 20 percent infants, 35 percent young people, 35 percent adults and 10 percent elderly.
People with different ages and disabilities (physical, intellectual, auditory, visual and psychosocial) participate in the actions that Piña Palmera carries out, as well as difficulties in the area of language, learning and behavior together with their families, without taking into account the type of disability.
The central axis of the work that this organization does is based on respect for differences and the formation of an inclusive society.
Those who make up Piña Palmera pointed out that "despite the flooding and the overflow of the rivers, the tidal waves and the wind, there are no human losses to mourn, however help is needed such as electric generators, solar cell lamps, water pumps, flashlights, shovels, ropes, construction materials, cleaning supplies, shoes and clothing”.
The aid, reported Piña Palmera, is received through donations to the bank account 09400502588 (Scotiabank Inverlat, with password 044630094005025888) and supplemented with data to obtain information about it: telephone 958 58431 47 or email caipinapalmera@gmail. com.
While the help in kind is received in Nahuatlacas mz. 81, lot 17, col. Ajusco, Cafetlaes esq. Canaverales, cabbage. Farms Coapan and Marsella 60, cabbage. Juarez, in the capital of the country. In the city of Oaxaca, it is Sikanda-Puente a la Salud Comunitaria/Privada de Magnolias 109, col. Reform.
Zipolite is one of the tourist sites on the Oaxacan coast that Agatha devastated and where government aid is provided by the people, because government institutions have been only dribs and drabs.
