As part of ongoing efforts under the Comprehensive Care Plan for San Quintín, Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda led a work agenda that included oversight of electrification efforts in local neighborhoods and a review of construction at the Santa María Community Online High School for Farmworkers, a project being developed in coordination with President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
During a supervision tour, the governor toured Internacional neighborhood to verify progress on electrical infrastructure. She also inspected the construction site of the aforementioned school, an initiative aimed at expanding access to upper secondary education in areas with the greatest need.
The school project represents an investment of 13.84 million pesos and will be carried out in two stages. The first phase includes the construction of three classroom units, a computer lab, administrative offices, and a restroom module. The second stage will add a multi-purpose court with a metal roof, a cistern, a septic tank, an absorption well, an electrical substation, and external works.
During the event, the governor also witnessed the inauguration of the Unique Model for Citizen Services in Indigenous Languages (MUAC LI) at the Women’s Justice Center (CEJUM), part of a broader effort to ensure more inclusive care for all residents.
“In this comprehensive support effort, we are providing concrete backing to those who carry out this noble and necessary work. At the same time, we are advancing a unique model of citizen services in indigenous languages, which seeks to ensure that any procedure or public service can be requested in the native language of those who need it. This model, together with the support of translators and interpreters, is part of our commitment to genuine inclusion,” the governor said.
Gabriel Alberto Palombo, director of the Digital Agency, noted that more than 48,000 people in Baja California identify as members of an indigenous community. He said the new service model has already expanded access by making procedures and services available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Belinda Rodríguez Moreno, secretary of Social Inclusion, emphasized the importance of having translators and interpreters to help ensure that members of indigenous communities can exercise their right to be heard and assisted in their own language.
During the event, authorities distributed 53 financial aid grants through the Social Inclusion Program, along with 16 additional grants for interpreters and translators of indigenous languages. Officials also flagged off the Violet Caravan, a mobile initiative designed to provide comprehensive care for women through legal counsel, support services, and social work to help ensure a life free from violence.
In addition, Governor Marina del Pilar announced that Mobile Health Caravans will become a permanent presence in San Quintín, offering free services including mammograms, dental care, clinical laboratory tests, pharmacy access, eye exams, and ophthalmology care.
