Earthquake Survivors of Oaxaca

Hola,

I am sure by now you have heard of the 8.2 earthquake that happened off the coast of Chiapas, Mexico on September 8th 2017.  We are happy to report that in Huatulco there was no major injuries or major damage.  We are fortunate to have FONATUR develop the area with great building codes. Puerto Escondido and Oaxaca City also received no major damage. 

Unfortunately, North of Huatulco in the Isthmus of Oaxaca is where they have been devastated by the earthquake. The town of Juchitán and surrounding area was hit the worst. We have colleagues and friends on the coast who have family who have lost everything, not to mention the loss of life.  It is much worse than what has been reported or known. 

You may view this New York Times article to get a better idea of the devastation.

A BIG thank you to all of those who have already donated. You have made a difference in people's lives.

A BIG thank you to all of the individuals and orginizations who have been making a differrence raising money and driving loads of supplies up into the mountians.  Initial survival needs have been met with the help of many volunteers and organizations working together. It is wonderful to see so many people helping.

The current reality is people are sleeping in the streets and on soccer fields without a home to go to. They have now shelter from rain and then the hot sun.  Many of these people will not have homes rebuilt for years.

A.M.P.I. Costa-Istmo Oaxaca is working with a team of architects who are volunteering their time and utilizing students to build shelters in the Isthmus. Money being raised for material only and with the help of great leaders we are banding the people of the community together to assist with building. 

Their will be shelter for many people, a  with bathrooms and w and provide a safe place to sleep. Once homes are rebuilt and people are able to move into their rebuilt homes the shelters will become community centers for children.

The people of Oaxaca need your help. Every dollar makes a difference. Please donate today to help provide shelter for people who have nothing.
