To mark the opening of the Academic and Cultural Centre San Pablo as the head office of the Alfredo Harp HelĂş Foundation in Oaxaca, we want to share a vision of our everyday tasks that propose a more humane world. We would like to show you a few examples of our projects that, in spite of not covering all the efforts, give an idea of the steps taken on a daily basis.

MĂšSICA MUSIC
Let music break the silence
MĂšSICA MUSIC
They do not speak Spanish, others do not speak the indigenous languages, and still others do not understand English; in the classroom our common language are the music notes. Tim McKeown
Coordinator of the brass section of Instrumenta Tradicional
Music is, above all, an embrace, a caress, an act of love.
MĂšSICA MUSIC
The soul of our music deserves to live on.

Send me books, books, many books so my soul does not die!, said Dostoyevsky when imprisoned in Siberia
EL PLACER DE LA LECTURA THE PLEASURE OF READING

There is no sight more beautiful than the look of a child who reads.

The author of The Men Scattered by Dance continues to be present at the Henestrosa Library,, a corner conducive to reflection and literary creation.
Literature is full of aromas
EL PLACER DE LA LECTURA THE PLEASURE OF READING
Mobile libraries are a balm made of stories and tales in remote places.
There is no better frigate than a book to take us to faraway lands.

Si juera tinta corriera, Si juera papel volara, Si juera yo una estampilla, En este sobre me juera... Dicho popular
If I was ink I’d run If I was paper I’d fly If I was a stamp in this envelope I’d travel away

DEPORTE SPORT
To celebrate victories we need to make them happen.
DEPORTE SPORT
The greatest of victories is the victory over oneself
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.
In life there is no retirement on time, we have to stay on the playing field until the end, that’s why I love to live and die playing baseball
