Dear friends:
As you may wonder, we are fine health-wise. Amelia is out of school until May 6 or further notice, and we continue to work out of the house, as usual. The only major change really is that we regularly check the news for updates on the flu outbreak.
We are taking certain precautions, such as washing hands even more frequently, forgoing the normally requisite handshakes and kisses as greetings and goodbyes, and avoiding congregations of people (within reason).
We have had last-minute cancellations of traveler-volunteers who were to visit Casa HOY in May. As you probably already guessed, 2009 is turning into a rough year (global economic crisis, headlines outside Mexico about narco violence, and now the new flu) for us in terms of the number of international visitors coming to Mexico to carry out participatory travel, as well as tourism in general. On the other hand, trying times tend to breed creative thinking. HOY will refocus and rethink on ways to keep serving communities in need locally and abroad.
We’ll keep you posted with more news.
Gerardo and Katy
