¡Gracias, Alonso! 🎓✨

Earlier this year, we concluded a rewarding 6-week internship with Alonso Fernández, a graduate clinical intern from The University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work. Alonso didn't just help out—he built a lasting legacy for Tejiendo Alianzas and our future students. 🌿

Here is how his work will live on in Oaxaca:

📍 For Our Local Partners: He facilitated communication and leadership workshops with social enterprises like Xuchil, strengthening community-led initiatives.
📍 For Future Students: He created a Pre-Trip Master Suite including deep-dives on cultural humility and navigating identity as a returnee student.
📍 For Our Team: He developed a Trauma-Informed Debrief Protocol to help us hold safe spaces for students processing difficult news from home while abroad.

Alonso, your cultural humility and learning-and-serving mindset inspired us all. Oaxaca is better for having had you here! 🇲🇽🧡🤘

Four months of building the future of community-led business! 🎓🌿

Today we celebrate Celeste Díaz, our The University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work graduate intern who served as a strategic catalyst for Tejiendo Alianzas and our partners at Xuchil Natural Products.

Celeste didn’t just support our mission—she built the high-level architecture to scale it. Her legacy includes:

🚀 The Xuchil Roadmap: She designed a 12-month path to retail readiness, navigating complex certifications like NOM-251 to get mesquite products into formal markets. 💰 Funding Pipeline: Celeste drafted professional Grant Notes for major partners like Fundación Walmart, FEMSA, and GRUMA, aligning our work with global ESG goals. 📊 Strategic Diagnostic: She conducted a deep-dive analysis into Xuchil’s operations, from financial tracking and cost analysis to a long-term $1.5M MXN infrastructure budget. 📖 Sustainable Leadership: Beyond the numbers, she authored the "Intern Guide" and "Next Steps" documents to ensure non-hierarchical, collective leadership continues to flourish.

Celeste, your ability to blend business strategy with deep social work values has transformed our organization. Thank you for your vision and your heart! 🧡🤘 ¡Te extrañamos!

Empowering the Next Generation: 3 Years of TEAM Mexico 🏎️💨🧵

This March, we celebrated the third year of our TEAM Mexico program! While our collaboration with the Cockrell School of Engineering - UT Austin began in 2017—initially focused on solar-powered mesquite production with Xuchil—the program has evolved into a vibrant bridge between ancestral heritage and modern STEM education.

At Tejiendo Alianzas, we see these workshops as a critical entry point into the professional pipeline. By sparking interest in technical education early, we help local youth see engineering as a pathway to meaningful careers that support their families and preserve their cultural identity.

Immersion Highlights:

🏎️ STEM Outreach at Scale: Our teams facilitated hands-on workshops for 224 students (including 63 in Suchilquitongo and 161 in San Dionisio Ocotepec). Middle schoolers built and tested wind-powered cars, transforming "friendly competition" into real-world lessons in renewable energy.

👩‍🔬 Bi-National Collaboration: In collaboration with , our students participated in the "Mujeres Ingenieras en Acción" (MIA) program, featuring an inspiring presentation by professional engineer Michelle Serao ().

🧶 Heritage & Sustainable Craft: From natural dye making in Teotitlan del Valle to palm weaving with artisans from San Baltazar Guelavila, students saw how technical skill meets tradition. We also learned about sustainable employment and cultural preservation at the DAVA Artisan Design zapotec collective ().

🏛️ History, Design, & Wellness: Our journey took us from the ancient engineering of Monte Albán to the 250-year-old and project. Students also participated in traditional chocolate making and learned about ancestral medicine in San Dionisio Ocotepec for equilibrium and peace.

Special thanks to Municipal President Lic. Laura Isabel Roman Figueroa () for coordinating our community tours. We are proud to continue weaving this bridge between Austin and Oaxaca. 🧡🤘

Bridging Cultures Through Renewable Energy: A Milestone for Santiago Suchilquitongo ⚡️🤝

This March marked another successful chapter in our 7-year partnership (established in 2017) with the Cockrell School of Engineering - UT Austin. Alongside our development partner , we are demonstrating how sustainable infrastructure can catalyze immediate community agency.

At Tejiendo Alianzas, our mission is to build a robust educational pipeline. When we improve school resources, we create a pathway for young people to thrive in Oaxaca, reducing the pressure to migrate and preparing them for sustainable employment within their own community.

Deployment Highlights:

💧 The Well Breakthrough: For years, a well existed on school property but lacked the resources for testing. This month, our engineering cohort and Ing. Ezequiel () performed a successful drawdown test. Pumping water directly into the cistern for the first time was a major leap toward the school's resource autonomy, moving away from costly water trucking.

⚡ Scaling Impact: With the solar microgrid now at full capacity, the school can support 10+ high-draw devices simultaneously. This has already inspired the parent committee to purchase equipment for vocational workshops, while teachers launch new digital literacy classes.

🤝 Bi-National Innovation: At the campus, UT students collaborated with local students to tackle complex challenges in natural disaster preparation and waste processing.

🌱 Policy & Practice: Our cohort attended an insightful seminar with Prof. Augusto Mosqueda (UAO) to explore the future of renewable energy policy in Mexico. This included a visit to the project, where we learned about his zero-waste solar distillation process—a perfect example of localized innovation.

🏛️ Local Leadership: We extend our deepest gratitude to Municipal President Lic. Laura Isabel Roman Figueroa () for meeting with our cohort. Her perspective on the challenges facing Suchilquitongo and the innovative solutions her administration is implementing was invaluable to our mission.

The Vision: We are providing the technical tools and structure needed to build a life of dignity and opportunity. Next step: Delivering 3 new solar-powered laptops to the school lab! 💻☀️

As we close out 2025, we are looking back with immense gratitude at what we’ve built together. This year was about more than just projects; it was about bridging cultures and creating a humane, positive impact in the heart of Oaxaca.

Our 2025 Highlights:
☀️ Renewable Energy & STEM: In collaboration with Engineering and Business students from UT Austin, we successfully installed solar panels at a local middle school and launched a STEM skills program for young girls.
📱 Tech for Microbusiness: We partnered with UT Dallas and Universidad Anáhuac Oaxaca to develop custom applications that support and scale our community microbusinesses.
📈 Strategic Growth: We worked with Texas A&M’s 180 Degrees Consulting and Georgetown University’s Global Consulting to evaluate and refine our programs for long-term sustainability.

The Impact:
✨ Nearly 300 local students empowered with new skills.
✨ 20 indigenous business leaders and associates supported in rural communities.
✨ 65 university students from the US and Mexico participated in life-changing service-learning experiences.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to create unforgettable experiences and foster community-centered change. To our partners, students, and supporters: thank you for being part of this journey.

Wishing you all a 2026 filled with hope, perseverance, and happiness. Together, we keep weaving. 🧶✨
