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.

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.

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.

Oaxaca, Oaxaca. “Pegó fuerte y con todas sus fuerzas”, dice Verónica Méndez, una de las damnificadas del Huracán Agatha, quien lo perdió todo. Desde hace una semana, las familias y los pueblos afectados de la costa y sierra sur de Oaxaca suman los 17 mil damnificados, de acuerdo con las cifras oficiales. Pero las cifras no cuentan ni hablan de la necesidad humana de quienes se quedaron sin nada.

Piña Palmera es un Centro de Atención y Rehabilitación Infantil que quedó devastado y requiere ayuda solidaria de todas y todos para reconstruirse y volver a funcionar como lo ha hecho desde hace 30 años, cuando abrió sus puertas en Zipolite, Oaxaca.

En este lugar son atendidos más de cien menores y adultos, en su mayoría indígenas de la costa y sierra sur de Oaxaca, quienes reciben tratamiento gratuito referente alguna discapacidad, informó Nayeli Souza, voluntaria de Piña Palmera.

“Con las lluvias que dejó Agatha a su paso, los ríos se llenaron y se desbordaron, el agua y el lodo alcanzó casi un metro y medio de altura e ingresó al centro de rehabilitación para llevarse todo”, recalcó en entrevista telefónica con Desinformémonos.

De los muebles, equipos y aparatos de rehabilitación no quedó nada, asegura la joven voluntaria, por lo que “hay que empezar de nuevo, al solicitar ayuda solidaria de toda la comunidad”.

Piña Palmera sobrevive recibiendo donativos. Así se ha mantenido durante tres décadas, y con esta inundación se afectó 80 por ciento de sus instalaciones, enfatizó Nayeli Souza, quien recalcó que la única finalidad de este centro es seguir ayudando a las familias indígenas de Oaxaca.

“El 80 por ciento de nuestras instalaciones se dañó con las lluvias. Eran sitios dedicados al cuidado y atención de personas con discapacidad severa. Los talleres, casas y habitaciones del personal y voluntarios y voluntarias fueron destruidos totalmente, así como las instalaciones hidráulicas y eléctricas, y todos los servicios de comunicación telefónica e internet”, expresó.

Además, informó que se registró la pérdida absoluta de equipos y muebles de toda índole, incluidos los necesarios para realizar terapias, movilizar a personas con discapacidad severa y atenderlas en situaciones críticas.

“Piña Palmera hoy nos necesita a todas y todos para su reconstrucción”, dice Nayeli, y aunque hace un llamado urgente a los tres niveles de gobierno, su confianza está en la sociedad civil, la que, asegura, siempre los ha apoyado.

“Queremos construir un mundo en donde sea menos difícil amar”

“Queremos construir un mundo en donde sea menos difícil de amar” es el sueño de Piña Palmera y lo recalca en su página de internet, citando el pensamiento crítico del pedagogo brasileño Paulo Freire.

En Piña Palmera todos sus integrantes son iguales. Hay fundadores y voluntarios como Nayeli Souza, que recalca que urge reconstruir este espacio que ayuda a cientos de familias de dos regiones de Oaxaca.

Desde su fundación, en este lugar han participado en sus programas más de 5 mil menores y adultos con diferentes discapacidades. Ahora participan 635 personas en sus centros, donde la población que atienden se divide entre 20 por ciento infantes, 35 por ciento jóvenes, 35 por ciento adultos y 10 por ciento ancianos.

En las acciones que Piña Palmera realiza participan personas con diferentes edades y discapacidades (física, intelectual, auditiva, visual y psicosocial), así como dificultades en el área de lenguaje, aprendizaje y conducta en conjunto con sus familias, sin tener en cuenta el tipo de discapacidad.

El eje central del trabajo que hace esta organización se basa en el respeto hacia las diferencias y la formación de una sociedad incluyente.

Quienes integran Piña Palmera señalaron que “a pesar de la inundación y el desbordamiento de los ríos, las marejadas y el viento, no hay pérdidas humanas que lamentar, sin embargo hace falta ayuda como generadores eléctricos, lámparas de células solares, bombas de agua, linternas de mano, palas, sogas, materiales de construcción, artículos de limpieza, zapatos y ropa”.

La ayuda, informó Piña Palmera, se recibe a través de donativos a la cuenta bancaria 09400502588 (Scotiabank Inverlat, con clave 044630094005025888) y complementa con datos para obtener información al respecto: el teléfono 958 58431 47 o en el correo electrónico caipinapalmera@gmail.com.
