Chiapas Fundraiser at the San Francisco Mexican Consulate

On May 2nd, the San Francisco Mexican Consulate generously hosted a fundraiser at their beautiful office on Folsom Street. The funds raised will benefit the Nachij community in Chiapas, Mexico. To date, the fundraiser has raised $4,406 which will be put towards the Nachij group. To show your support for the Mexican Consulate and the women in Chiapas, click here:










The event featured live music, dancers, authentic Chiapatecan appetizers prepared and served by Toni Moore Catering, a silent auction, and video presentations. The Chiapatecan goods were of particular interest to all who attended - the entire supply sold out in a matter of hours! Featured speakers were Katia Corroy, the Executive Director for NamasteDirect's partner in Chiapas - AlSol; Alejandra Garcia Williams, the Consul General; and Bob Graham, the founder of NamasteDirect.

Thank-you to the San Francisco Mexico Consulate for hosting this fun, entertaining, and worthwhile event!
