VOLUNTEERING Español Interactivo has partnered with Estancia Fraternidad, a unique, non-profit hospice here in Oaxaca. The Estancia's mission is to offer housing to the families of patients undergoing long-term hospital treatments, and often to the patients themselves once they're out of hospital. Poor people often have to come long distances for treatment in Oaxaca City, because there are no adequate medical services in their own communities. The patients' families often know no one in the city, and can't afford expensive rental accommodation for the duration of the treatment. Beyond the obvious financial assistance, the Estancia provides a welcoming, caring atmosphere for families who are going through an emotionally wrenching time. Volunteering opportunities range from childcare to simple cooking and cleaning. During these tough economic times, your donations are especially appreciated. You can download their pamphlet in PDF form here. You're also welcome to visit the Estancia and see the work they do in person: PATRONATO ESTANCIA FRATERNIDAD View Larger Map |
