An International Mix at Carmen's Home

On Saturday, August 23, we gathered at Carmen's home for a NamasteDirect Fundraiser. Spanish was the language of choice for the afternoon and there was quite an international mix - Guatemalans, Mexicans, Chileans, Cubans, and more! The food was aplenty, including the first exposure for many to the Guatemalan hot dog taco! Carmen and her mother demonstrated: start with a corn tortilla, top with marinated cabbage, guacamole, and finally a barbequed hot dog. Roll it up and enjoy!

Aside from the usual goods for sale, the guests enjoyed shopping amongst generous donations from Eugenia, Armando, and Patty. Eugenia had donated beautiful linen clothing from her hometown of Xela. Armando and Patty have recently started a jewelry making business and they donated a portion of the proceeds of their striking, liquid silver jewelry.
All had a wonderful time meeting old and new friends. We look forward to the next event!
