Isa
Mundo Foundation will be joining a youth group in Mexico this month to
officially launch a new partnership with the Boca de Tomatlan school. Mundoers
visited the school for the first time in November 2017 and continued discussion
on how to develop a partnership moving forward.
The
group provided a blog as a formal note to Isa Mundo Foundation and its members.
------
We
would like to introduce the Sunwah Foundation Global Young Leaders Network
(GYLN) - a non-profit organization that provides social services
internationally, with on-going projects around the world to serve communities,
support people in need and develop leadership skills in young leaders.
The
organization was formed by a group of volunteers who are passionate in giving
back to societies and develop a network to exchange cultural values and
diversities. We establish chapters and recruit members globally to strengthen
local connections and provide direct support to communities.
GYLN's
objectives align well with Isa Mundo's approach in providing service to less
fortunate communities around the world and supporting families in need, while
collaborating with other not-for-profit organizations to create a larger impact
globally. The experience of Isa Mundo in Mexico, where resources for schools
are not enough relative to those local schools in Canada, provides us an
insight of the importance in serving our neighboring countries as well. We
believe that partnering with Isa Mundo will allow us to explore the vast
opportunities of volunteering in areas related to schools in Mexico.
This
will be our first project in Mexico and we are planning our visit during the
week of March 21 - 27, 2018. The first stage of the week long project is to
support the refurbishing of classrooms, bring school supplies and host teaching
activities for students in Boca de Tomatlan School. We are also planning a
visit to Casa Connor/Pasitos de Luz to understand the health and situation of
children and the facility. This visit will provide an opportunity to assess
potential long-term support in the future. It will be a great experience for
our chapter to learn the local culture, establish connections, and explore any
possibilities of future projects in the region and surrounding communities.
