Support for Laureate Mexico

On September 19, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake shook Mexico, and additional aftershocks followed, leaving the country reeling. The Laureate network in Mexico is vast, with two major institutions and more than 200,000 students. Several members of our network lost significant portions of their homes and had their livelihoods compromised.

We are asking you to join us as we respond by being Here for Good for our colleagues in Mexico. All money donated by Laureate employees to this fund will be matched 2:1 by Laureate up to a total of $25,000 USD and will go directly to the Laureate Mexico team to be distributed to members of our network who were significantly affected by the earthquakes. The Laureate Mexico team has identified many staff members who lost major portions of their homes and possessions. And they expect that number to grow as the assessments and relief efforts continue. The Laureate Mexico team has worked tirelessly to help members of our network affected by the earthquake, and now it is our turn to help them in their efforts.

The needs in Mexico are great, and the Laureate community stands together to support our colleagues.

*This effort is being conducted through GoFundMe in order to ensure that all funds are donated directly to supporting Laureate employees affected by the Mexican earthquakes. The GoFundMe campaign has been established by Adam Smith, Executive Director, Global Public Affairs at Laureate. Adam will personally receive the funds and will work with our leaders in Mexico to determine how the funds can have the greatest impact. All funding decisions will be approved by COO, Ricardo Berckemeyer and then distributed to recipients. A 
summary of all funds allocated and paid will be shared with all who have generously contributed to this campaign. For more information, please contact [email redacted]

El 19 de septiembre, un terremoto de magnitud 7.1 sacudió a México, con temblores secundarios posteriores que dejaron al país en una terrible situación. La red Laureate en México es extensa, con dos instituciones principales y más de 200,000 estudiantes. Varios miembros de nuestra red perdieron una parte significativa de sus hogares y sus medios de subsistencia se vieron afectados.

Les pedimos que se unan a nosotros mientras respondemos a nuestros colegas México demostrando nuestro compromiso Here for Good. Todo el dinero donado por los empleados de Laureate a este fondo será igualado 2: 1 por Laureate hasta $25,000 USD y se enviará directamente al equipo de Laureate México para ser distribuido a los miembros de nuestra red que fueron significativamente afectados por los terremotos. Actualmente, el equipo de Laureate México ha identificado a muchos colegas que perdieron gran parte de sus hogares y posesiones. Se espera que este número crezca mientras continúan los esfuerzos de ayuda. El equipo de Laureate México ha trabajado incansablemente para ayudar a los miembros de nuestra red afectados por el terremoto, y ahora es nuestro turno para ayudarlos en sus esfuerzos.

Las necesidades en México son muy grandes, la comunidad Laureate debe unirse en apoyo a nuestros colegas de cualquier forma posible.

*Este esfuerzo se está llevando a cabo a través de GoFundMe para asegurar que todos los fondos sean donados directamente para apoyar a los colaboradores de Laureate afectados por los terremotos mexicanos

No dia 19 de setembro, um terremoto de magnitude 7.1 sacudiu o México, seguido de várias réplicas, deixando o país devastado. A rede Laureate no México é ampla, com duas grandes instituições e mais de 200 mil estudantes. Vários membros da nossa rede perderam partes significativas de suas casas e tiveram seus meios de subsistência comprometidos.

Pedimos que você se junte a nós, enquanto ajudamos os nossos colegas no México, através de nossa missão Here for Good. Todo o dinheiro doado pelos colaboradores da Laureate para este fundo será equiparado na proporção 2: 1 pela Laureate, até um total de US$ 25.000 dólares e irá direto para a equipe da Laureate México, para ser distribuído para os membros da nossa rede que foram significativamente afetados pelos terremotos. Atualmente, a equipe da Laureate México identificou muitos colaboradores que perderam grandes partes de suas casas e bens. A previsão é que esse número aumente à medida que os esforços de socorro continuam. A equipe da Laureate México está trabalhando incansavelmente para ajudar os membros da nossa rede afetados pelo terremoto, e agora é nossa vez de ajudá-los em seus esforços.

As necessidades no México são enormes e a comunidade da Laureate deve manter-se unida para apoiar nossos colegas no que for possível.

* Este esforço está sendo realizado por meio do GoFundMe, a fim de garantir que todos os fundos sejam doados diretamente para apoiar os colaboradores da Laureate afetados pelos terremotos no México.
