Cameron ran a summer bridge class for elementary aged children and the International Bridge Association has continued to support his endeavor in hopes of a new world-wide bridge resurgence. He is now giving lessons at Centro de Experanza Infantil A.C. which is a block from our apartment.
Arin and I visited the center today and are very impressed with their vision. They find donors who will support a year of education for youngsters who otherwise would not be able to attend school. The children come for breakfast then spend the day in school After they eat lunch, they return to the Zocolo to assist their parents in selling handicrafts which support the family. The donors get a quarterly grade report. If a child is not making the grade, they are required to attend tutoring sessions at the center. This is where we come in. I start Tuesday.
If you are interested in supporting a child, or volunteering, the website is www.oaxacastreetchldrengrassroots.org
