Teyahuala Walk

Last Saturday 17th of October 2009, 20 friends, colleagues and enthusiasts joined the Sponsored Walk to support the construction of a Communal House for a women’s cooperative in Teyahuala, Mexico (see more info in the posts here below). We walked across the causeway and around the Holy Island of Lindisfarne starting around 11.30 am until 6.30 pm aprox. The weather was fantastic, and we had a great time: loads of good conversations, laughs and vibes. Thank you so much to all of you who supported, encouraged and sponsored this effort.

You can still donate (see left column for details) and spread the word about it!

Please keep coming back to the blog to see updates about how much we managed to raise (in a few weeks) and how the house is progressing (in a few months).

Thank you! Muchas gracias!

Teyahuala's children taking pictures and addressing the water problem





















This sequence was taken by one of the girls in Teyahuala. I lend her my camera and told her the basic instructions to make it work. She then went out with the mission of taking whatwever she thought was nice or interesting for her. When she came back with these images of a neighbour carrying water from the cave up to his house, I thought the girls and boys could do wonders if they could get the chance of having some tools and spaces to creatively express what is around them. The Communal House will also provide a space to develop future projects where technology could be put to use to support children's creativity.
