Every March 8, the struggle of women for equality in all areas of society is commemorated. We have carried out several actions such as the “Florence Nightingale” committee, as well as several workshops on “menstrual poverty” to generate a more egalitarian education and female life. From CADENA we remember this day as a symbol of the struggles that, even today, women carry out.

We went to the Agencia Municipal Renacimiento in Oaxaca, where we carried out a humanitarian intervention with Juventud CADENA. This community had never received social support or humanitarian aid, and is made up of families who migrated from the countryside due to soil erosion to live near the garbage dump.
Only three years ago the houses were electrified, and so far not all of them have access to drinking water, so they have to pay for a water pipe every week. Given the situation, their state of health and hygiene is greatly affected. These families do not have the income to buy basic necessities and, unfortunately, the children used to work in the garbage dump, and for several years now schools have been built to provide access to education.
Faced with this situation, CADENA delivered electric stoves so that they can replace the stove and thus reduce the contact with smoke. We also brought them basic necessities such as clothing, blankets, hygiene kits and tuna fish.
The CADENA Youth team also conducted interviews to get to know them and better understand their needs. Signs of violence, extreme poverty, child labor, among others, were identified. However, they also found stories of love and hope. Humanitarian aid is given with humanity, and this one-on-one approach demonstrates that the line between beneficiary and volunteer can no longer exist.
Misfortunes come when you least expect them. On January 31, in the neighborhoods of La Gasca and La Comuna, north of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, heavy rains caused an “alluvium”: a mudflow where water carries loose material down a creek or riverbed. At the initiative of Cadena Internacional, we sent a multidisciplinary team of humanitarian professionals from Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia led by our Pathfinders to assist in the work carried out by the local Jewish community of Quito, and thus, help the people affected by the flood.
Your participation is vital for us to continue bringing help where it is needed, and it is thanks to you that today we are able to support communities in catastrophic situations such as Malawi and Ecuador.
Between January 26 and February 5, we participated in the Regional Humanitarian Assistance Simulation of CEPREDENAC, in which we had the opportunity to send international aid from the Mexico office to Guatemala. Two members of the GO TEAM participated as evaluators of the USAR teams, and two rescuers from the Guatemala office participated as observers of the team deployment process. It has definitely been a great opportunity to establish cooperative ties with other organizations at the regional level and, in this way, favor the development of future humanitarian interventions.
We have moved to INCAP in Tizayuca, Hidalgo, with the intention of developing an annual training plan, called “Go Team 2022”, which consisted in the delivery of three specialization courses for our operational and technical improvement in vertical rescue, search and rescue in collapsed spaces (BREC), and vehicular extraction. As a result, 18 of our active members were able to move up a level within our Go Team volunteer “lifeline”

The impact generated by the winter frosts has left the population living in the Sierras de Guerrero in an extremely vulnerable situation. Therefore, we decided to carry out the Chilpancingo Humanitarian Intervention (which is part of the Cold Brigade 2021 – 2022), in which we helped to combat the low temperatures. The communities to which the aid was provided are: Izotepec, Xoxomanatlán, Omiltemi, Chautipán and Las Joyitas. We impacted the lives of 661 families with the delivery of supplies; in addition, we provided 39 medical consultations, 18 dental consultations and a dental health prevention workshop. Special thanks to: Protección Civil Guerrero, Unifin, Steren Mexico and Ropa Federación.
We are carrying out the campaign “From liter to roof”, which has allowed us to provide a roof to those families who have suffered some kind of disaster or did not have an adequate roof over their homes. We thank all those who, day after day, deliver their Tetra Pak packages to the schools: without you, none of this would be possible.
We had the opportunity to conduct a retreat to absorb and impart knowledge about leadership and humanitarian intervention. The retreat, called Tikun Olam Leadership Retreat (TOLR), became a mission of resilience, in which we learned about the various types of leadership, in addition to trying to better understand the world, and in relation to others, continue to grow. The experience reached its full realization as we put the knowledge acquired into practice in Zongolica, Veracruz, providing help to those in need, truly appreciating what Tikun Olam is. At the same time, the TOLR was also a space for coexistence, recreation and fun. What initiative can you make your own to help heal the world?
We had the honor of meeting Itzayana Altamirano Rojas, a 7 years old girl representing the Scouts of Cuautitlán Izcalli. Her approach to CADENA has been on her own initiative, with the intention of carrying out a Tetra Pak collection campaign for our program “De Litro a Techo”. Throughout these months, she has been collecting these products with her family and friends, delivering more than 4,000 pieces of Tetra Pak, an action that will make possible the placement of ecological roofs in the homes of the people who need them most. Thank you very much Itza, your contribution is essential for our cause!
We had the opportunity to carry out an intervention to counteract the strong frosts in Sábana del Rosario, located in the municipality of Villa Allende, in the State of Mexico. Every year, temperatures drop to 0º and many people do not have sufficient infrastructure to combat this problem. A large number of the population there live in the countryside and in this cold season it is not possible for them to work their land. Faced with this series of obstacles, CADENA delivered 400 blankets, hygiene and household cleaning materials, food and clothes donated by people (courtesy of Proyecto Impacto and our own stockpile). We will never stop giving our help to anyone in need.
