Changes in Oaxaca (Dave Slaymaker):
I have made many trips to Oaxaca but even so I tend to
forget the
extreme the poverty and difficulties the children in
our program
face. It has been several years since I visited homes
of the families
we serve. In January I visited four families and was
reminded just how
difficult life was for the Oaxacan poor; many people
sharing one small room, no
running water, sanitation and inadequate nutrition are
the norm. On the other
hand, my recent visit allowed me to see how much
OSCGR has accomplished over
the years. Thanks to sponsors, donors and volunteers
the center is
filled with more than 600 happy children who are
attending school and
have new hope for a bright future.

Trivani Foundation (Dave
Slaymaker): Since
our move to the building on Crespo a few years ago the
roof has been
a continual problem. We have been plagued by leaks and
are now
concerned about its safety and unable to use a room on
the first floor due to fears about the roof above. Fortunately we were
contacted by Megan McMillan at the Trivani
Foundation (A non-profit humanitarian organization).
After talking with
Megan for several months we met recently in Oaxaca. I
am excited to say that the Trivani Foundation has agreed to assist us
financially in making these urgent roof repairs at the
center. Many thanks to
Megan and Trivani Foundation!
