As a safety measure against the global pandemic of COVID-19, our Club suspended in-house activities. However, we did not let this be an obstacle for us. We are continuing to provide our programs remotely to the children and youth of Los Cabos, with the same level of commitment.

Since March 20th, we have engaged with 231 children & youth, plus 41 volunteers , working from home! Please take a moment to read through some of the exciting updates and news we have for you.  
PROGRAM UPDATES
NUTRITION

Challenged by the collateral effect of self-isolation, we managed to provide produce to the families of our young participants directly from our organic gardens.

Subsequently, we had 8 participants and their families, from San José del Cabo, fully engaged in our Huerto en Casa (Garden at Home) program in creating their own family garden. They received seeds, support and guidance from program manager, Vanessa, who always included caution and safety measures in her teachings.

Our Desayuno Joven (Youth Breakfast) program, also carried on through weekly online sessions, providing tips and activities about healthy eating habits during self-isolation. All sessions were made available through social media. Click on the image to watch our last session. 

Our Garden Manager complemented these sessions by hosting a webinar on compost using home waste, and how compost can be a benefit to their gardens.  
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

We are making every day an Earth Day! Concerned about our planet, our little Agents of Change wasted no time in developing their individual projects, like creating, recycling and cleaning up their homes, and turning a personal initiative into a fun family activity. 

The end goal was to create an eco-friendly space in which to spend quality time with their families at home and to promote recycling. 
Everyone gathered together each Saturday with their volunteer Coach to share their personal experiences from each week.

These sessions included a short lesson on values and guidance on their individual projects. All projects were recorded to show evidence in a before and after mode.
