Fiesta Justicia/Party for Justice offered the opportunity to purchase exquisite handwoven goods made by MayaMam weavers in Cajola, Guatemala. (See www.grupocajola.org for information.) MayaMam graciously shares its profits with us. We were also delighted to have Maria Andreu with us again as MC. In addition to her stand-up talents, Maria, who grew up in the States without documents, is the author of The Other Side of Empty, a Young Adult novel about her life experience.
In addition to just having a good time at the party, we took the opportunity to award an OSHA graduation certificate to one of the OSHA students, Jorge Calan. This is an important document for workers, and we are delighted that we can offer this training.
