Giving Back
When you enroll in Spanish classes with Hola Everyone, 100% of our revenue goes toward supporting homeless dogs in Oaxaca, Mexico, through our partnership with PATITAS FELICES OAXACA.
If you represent a dog rescue organization that may benefit from our support, please send us an email at community@holaeveryone.com
Our Roots
‘Hola Everyone,’ was launched during the 2019 Refugee Livelihood Lab, which is a project hosted by RADIUS at Simon Fraser University.
The founders of ‘Hola Everyone’ have been teaching Spanish in the United States and Canada since 2008. Their passion lies in teaching Spanish while also delving into the diversity and complexity of Mexican culture. They are dedicated to helping their students improve their language skills and cultural competence.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Hola Everyone was created with a keen desire to improve the lives of people and create endless career opportunities for Mexican professionals.
Additionally, when you take lessons with Hola Everyone, you are also contributing to the welfare of homeless dogs in Mexico. That’s because 100% of our profits support the care and adoption of homeless dogs in Oaxaca. We take pride in collaborating with PATITAS FELICES OAXACA.
Unfortunately, these kind of organizations are always short of funds,
and your support can help and allow them to:
Shelter
those animals in need
Provide medical care
to those in need
Facilitate
foster placements
Offer free
spay / neuter services
If you want to support these organizations, you can also reach out to them or send us an email at community@holaeveryone.com.
