This summer we held off on the school supply and book distributions till early October, since in August when we normally go for the mission trip, the Delta variant was hitting the villages very hard and several people passed away. We lost Leonides Alejo, the co-founder of the Oaxaca Education Fund and our godson, who since 2012 had guided and managed the yearly distribution, the biannual high school fees, and the monthly orphan stipends. He succumbed to diabetes, and passed away on Aug. 12, 2021. We will miss him very much. His daugher Vanessa Alejo has been the manager in San Jorge Nuchita for the past 2 years now, as his health deteriorated. Our condolences to the whole, beloved family.
