Las Misiones Campus- Karen Aguilar

Karen grew up in the area and started working as a teacher at Oasis shortly after her two sisters became teachers at Oasis many years ago. After several years as a teacher, she stepped into the Site Manager role at our original campus in Las Misiones. She is passionate about working with the teenagers and young adults at Oasis, and is instrumental in supporting all program operations. She also helps coordinate a recreational running team made up of Oasis staff and students that compete in local 5k, 10k and half marathon races! ​

Cynthia started as one of the first teachers hired at Oasis in 2012 and recently became the director of our 3rd location. She is so great with the little kids and her gentle spirit is loved by all. Two of her sisters also work at Oasis and the rest of her family works in construction, farming, and party decorating! Apart from teaching, Cynthia loves to continue learning and is currently studying naturopathy, wine making, physical therapy, and natural cosmetology.

Local Team Members

The rest of our local team includes teachers, cooks, interns, and volunteers from the local community. Between the two Oasis campuses we have about 30 team members. Many of our teachers are college students studying to become teachers. Some of our teachers actually grew up coming to Oasis, graduated from college, and came back to serve at Oasis! We're so grateful our team is passionate about serving and helping other people improve their lives.
