The long range goal is to;
- Delete the waiting list
- Increase the despensas to bi-monthly
- Involve clients in the preparation of the despensas as we grow.
Out of this project, many other needs have been identified and slowly being addressed:
- Improve the health of the people of Chicxulub by: providing eye care clinics (using donated glasses and the involvement of a local optometrist); clinics to learn about good oral hygiene
- Provide each family on the program with at least one warm blanket for winter months (achieved through a generous donation)
- Nutrition program for pre-schoolers. There is a high incidence of malnutrition in this community and we have implemented a breakfast program
- Prevention programs for back care
- Access to clean water for cooking and drinking
- Community billboard to identify skills of the townspeople to allow the foreign community to access these people during the winter months
- School programs for the afternoon children to include lunch, proper attire for school and school supplies.
- Including but not limited to scribblers, pens, pencils, microscope, bag packs with wheels and/or lockers;
- Uniform shirts and trousers
- Shoes
- Bolsa de trabajo will provide information to the snowbird community of varied skills and handicrafts. In the future maybe a biweekly craft fair in the town square to showcase work.
