Celebrate 25 Years – A Benefit for Oaxaca Youth Empowerment

The night will include a special documentary screening, food and drinks, raffle prizes, and an opportunity to support the continued education of students in Oaxaca, Mexico. Free registration: email- Info@oaxacayouthempowerment.org to RSVP

Oaxaca Youth Empowerment is an Arkansas based charity whose purpose is to provide an avenue for education as well as other basic life needs to extremely poor children in Oaxaca, Mexico. Although schools are public in Oaxaca, the cost of uniforms, shoes and school supplies prohibit these children from attending school. Without an education, these children are likely relegated to a life of poverty.

To learn more about Oaxaca Youth Empowerment and how they help theses children and their families please attend a meet and greet event to be held at the Pearson Lakes Art Center on Friday, May 1 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Representatives of Oaxaca Youth Empowerment as well as current sponsors of children and the organization will be in attendance.

Special tribute to Cliff Hinderman.

“We have had the opportunity to support Oaxaca Youth Empowerment and sponsor multiple children in Oaxaca for many years. We are proud of our dentist, engineer, school teacher and other accomplished, educated young people. Their lives and the lives of everyone around them has changed. It is the most rewarding thing we have done.” Dennis and Dori Lippon, Okoboji.
