A City of Tradition and Beauty
Our journey begins in Oaxaca, a city where history, culture, and art intertwine in the heart of southern Mexico. Known for its vibrant traditions, rich indigenous heritage, and stunning landscapes, Oaxaca is a place where time seems to stand still. Surrounded by the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains, the city offers visitors a glimpse into a world full of color, flavors, and stories.
Oaxaca is famous for its colonial architecture, bustling markets, and traditional cuisines, including its iconic mole and tlayudas. With a history that spans centuries, from ancient Zapotec and Mixtec civilizations to its modern-day role as a cultural hub, Oaxaca is a city like no other.
During our mission trip, we will be serving the local communities through various outreach programs. These include medical assistance, food distribution, educational support for children, and environmental cleaning initiatives. Our goal is to help improve the lives of those in need while embracing the warmth and generosity of Oaxaca’s people. Join us in making a lasting impact in one of Mexico's most enchanting cities.
HELPING others brings us closer as HUMAN BEINGS
According to the book The How of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky, When we serve others, it not only helps others feel closer to us, but it also helps us feel closer to others. “Being kind and generous leads you to perceive others in a more positive and charitable way.”
