The objective of the bioconstruction project was to train the inhabitants of the community of "La Lobera", mainly women. From beginning to end, they learned about the construction process, whose main material is the earth of the region. In the process we also involved the children, in order to gradually recover this constructive tradition with a high degree of sustainability. #mexico #ayudandoméxico #vidasysueños #Oaxaca #comunidad #PuebloMexicano #ApoyandoMexico #donations #nonprofit #charity #abettertomorrow Previous Next

We noticed that the beneficiaries have already mastered the basic technique of drawing and painting. We also saw progress in teamwork as they help each other to make their designs. In the learning process, the integration of the children was great to see as they repeated their mother's strokes and experience the creative process. We also saw how the children were learning to use their ingenuity in didactic games. We end the course with the presentiation of their work. Once again, they captured elements of their natural environment in their designs. #ApoyandoMexico #helpinghands #comunidad #helpingmexico #oaxacamexico #communityservice #givingbackfeelsgood #yaxeoaxaca #lascasasoaxaca #anahuacoaxaca #sanmiguelperasoaxaca #mexico #ayudandoméxico #vidasysueños #Oaxaca #comunidad #PuebloMexicano #donations #nonprofit #charity #abettertomorrow #simplifybrandingmarketing Previous Next
