Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the

Dead) is celebrat-

ed on November

1st and 2nd. Dia

de los Muertos honors those who

have passed away. In Mexico peo-

ple visit the cemetery where their

loved ones are buried. They deco-

rate gravesites with marigold flow-

ers and candles. They bring toys

for dead children and bottles of

tequila for adults. They sit on pic-

nic blankets next to gravesites, tell

stories and eat the favorite food

of their loved ones.

Mexican families build altars at

home, write short poems

called Calaveras dedicating

them to the dead. They deco-

rate their altars with papel pic-

ado, flowers, sugar skulls, reli-

gious items, food, pictures of

the deceased and pan de

muerto.

Pan de muerto is the

traditional bread

people eat on this day and it is

only baked during this time of

year.

Papel Picado is tissue-

like paper used to

make beautiful art

pieces and banners in

various colors.

Saturday Sandwich at HECSY

HECSY’s Child Development Club launched “Sandwich Saturday” in Spring 2017. 30 students volunteers do-nated food, ingredients and time to make and deliver sandwiches. This year’s Sandwich Saturday was held on October 13, 2018. The sandwiches were first delivered to homeless at the Harborside Park in Chula Vista, next to the Office of Health and Human Services. The remaining sandwiches were taken and delivered to the homeless in Downtown San Diego.

Sandwich Saturday was made possible, in part, by the support from the Family Studies Department, the Child Development Club and its President Leslie Santana Verduzco, Students at HECSY and Chula Vista Campus, and William Marsden, Club Advisor and Professor.
