This Summer we will be traveling with a delegation to Marquez de Comillas Chiapas in an effort to continue to learn from the amazing autonomous communities which form part of our solidarity project. Our amazing delegation will be engaging in a cultural exchange and will be actively participating in a unique learning experience with the communities in Marquez de Comillas. Our delegates Claudia & Patty both medical students from UCLA Medical School will be providing wellness exams as well as cholesterol & diabetes screenings.
Our delegates Jaime, Nancy & Yolie will be learning hands-on about the local educational, political and community organizing systems. The goal of the delegation is to continue to learn from each other how to best meet the needs of our communities while exercising our right to organize and observe our indigenous and native roots. The delegation plans on bringing much needed resources to the communities in Marquez by bringing monetary donations and school supplies.
We will be leaving on July 22nd of 2008. If you would like to support this effort please send us your tax deductible donation to the
Children of Chiapas Foundation at 8439Drayer Lane, Rosemead CA 91770 or by making a donation through pay pal here.
Once again a big thanks to our friends from ALAS (Association of Latin American Students) Your support is much needed and deeply appreciated. Good luck to all of you and have a great Summer.
We look forward to working with you again next year!
