Chiapas Education Project is a Nonprofit that refurbishes recycled electronics from the U.S. to provide schools in Arriaga, Chiapas with access to technology. We have gifted a computer and projector to a Kindergarten and Elementary school in the town of Malpaso, and built a computer lab in the Jr. High in the town of La Azteca. Our organization continues to sponsor their internet services. This fundraiser will help us continue our vision by creating a computer lab at the High School, allowing students access to technology through their entire educational experience. This keeps electronics out of the landfill, easing the burden on Mother Earth and provides job skills for the students who might otherwise have to leave their country to find work as adults.

This event will celebrate indigenous cultures from southern Mexico and the Pacific Northwest. Performances will include Aztec and Oaxacan traditional dance, drumming, singing and storytelling from our region. The delicious dinner will be served by Natoncks Metsu of the Nipmuc Nation. Main course options include salmon, chicken, vegetarian and vegan. Proceeds from this event will fund a July trip to Chiapas, when we will bring refurbished computers to set up a computer lab for a high school in Arriaga. Please join us for this memorable event. It is a chance to break bread together, and share the stories, songs and dance that bring us strength and sustain us. We celebrate our relatives in Mexico, and the kindness and generosity of those in our community that are able to send support across the miles.
