Happy New Year!

Dear Sisters,

The New Year is well underway and we have high hopes for 2021. We hope this will be a year of good health for all our sisters worldwide. We hope the vaccine can reach our entire nation and the world and that all peoples can soon feel safe.

We hope that we all can carry on meeting again where many hugs can be shared, many hands held, many smiles seen.

We hope we can reach more members and guests in our shared journey of Excellence in Education, Altruism and World Understanding. 

Some important news from the Board Meeting held on January 11thfollow here.

Epsilon invites all to hear special guest Theresa Rohaly, California Beta Omicron, talking about “Horticultural Therapy.”

ADK Eta will also have a great speaker, our very own long time member Psychologist

Raquel Muñitz speaking on“Déficit de Atención, en el alumno sin daño neurológico.”

  

To ADK Gamma we are so glad to hear that your President Martha is doing well after her surgery and we wish her a speedy recovery.

To our sisters who have been directly affected by Covid and sadly lost relatives, friends and school members we pray you to find healing aided by fond memories.   

Hurray! The December Kappan journal mentions México. Let´s keep writing and let our sisters here and abroad know more about our wonderful work. 

Altruism in Action- For April’s Children’s Day ETA will donate toys and books in rural Jonacatepec.  Please help us with donations, and Alejandro from The Morelos Rotary Club will help to deliver everything safely.

EPSILON and GAMMA continue with their milk drive, helping Bernardo and  Domus Alipio.

Thank you to Lorraine Castañeda for being our National Altruistic Chair.

Word Understanding in Action- 

All of us live and breathe World Understanding. Some of our newest projects include: “Hands Across Borders ”, “The English Club” and  “Classroom Exchanges.” 

Excellence in Education

*ADK Blog – Our blog has a wonderful article from Madeline Bosma, Colorado Alpha Iota Chapter, who spoke in December about Diversity. This is a truly World Understanding in Action. Thank you, Madeline!
