COMI (Centro de Orientacion de Migrantes en Oaxaca)
COMI (Centro de Orientacion de Migrantes en Oaxaca) began in 2002 as a collaboration between Father Fernando Cruz and two Maryknoll lay missionaries. They saw the need to provide humanitarian support and solidarity to migrants coming from destabilized Central American countries. In 2003 the Good Samaritan Project was adopted by the Archdiocese of Oaxaca (COMI is now a registered Mexican non-profit). The project has evolved from helping local families find lost or deceased migrant relatives to providing a daytime respite and meal to the now full-service shelter that is based at the SW end of Centro Oaxaca (near Abastos and the Central bus station).
Many people have visited COMI to work on various volunteer projects including art and reading with migrant children, mural painting, English classes and a successful upgrade to the technical systems COMI uses for outreach and communication. The recent water project has met its goal. New projects are continually in the planning stages. There's always an opportunity to help.
