A small group of Mexican volunteers, Grupo Axixic Michicihualli, has been feeding the poor of Ajijic for two and a half months. They go bi-monthly to Juanacatlán, where there is a State Food Bank and bring food back to dispense from the Prisa Parking lot on the highway.
This Monday, the 5th of September, you can see this project in action. Every family must bring two empty buckets, one for fruit and one for vegetables, as well as a large bag for dry goods. The family must pay 100 pesos twice a month to cover the cost of transportation, plastic containers, etc. Many families can´t even afford this small amount.
If you would like to help Mexicans helping Mexicans, please contact Raul Medina at 333-166-3444 or you can stop by in person this Monday around 11 am. You can pay the treasurer directly, Mr. Jaime Perez.
Grupo Axixic Michicihualli, want you to know that this program is not affiliated with any political party, religious or any other movement. It is for the benefit of the community.
If you would like to volunteer you can talk to them on Monday or call Raul (who speaks English).
Where in Ajijic are volunteers needed on Mondays 11-2?
ReplyDeleteHi Tom. The Grupo meets in the parking lot across the street from the Prisa store on the carretera in Ajijic. It actually is the parking lot for Prisa...across from the store. There is a Pollos place nextdoor and the Oxxo in Ajijic is diagonally across the carretera at the streetlight. Hopes this helps. If not, just give me a call. I'll be there today at 12 noon. If you go and arrive before me, speak with Raul (who is bi-lingual). Fco.
