Patronato Pro Casa in Oaxaca is a small shelter for abandoned or mistreated boys generally between the ages of 5 and 16. Patronato Pro Casa provides schooling, lodging and meals to these youngsters. Activities for the children include sessions with a psychologist in the mornings, school in the afternoons (2pm to 6pm) and sports activities organized by both our volunteers and Mexican volunteers that help on occasion.

Volunteers can help with art classes, physical education classes and homework. They can organize games and activities and even help out to cook meals for the children.
