Help build a popular bilingual Jr. High School in Zapatista territory
We invite you to participate in the effort to build a school for Indian
children in the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas. Since beginning an
seemingly impossible rebellion three years ago, the indigenous people of
Chiapas have survived and are moving forward with an ambitious educational
project. Their struggle for human dignity has inspired international
attention and welcomes your support.
This summer teams of Mexicans and internationalists will work with the
indigenous of Chiapas to build a popular, bilingual education center in
the Zapatista civilian community of Oventic. This Jr. High School will
provide a new style of education fopr Indian youth and will be directly
administered by civilian indigenous Zapatistas.
We are excited to facilitate the involvement of others in the inspiring
process of social change sweeping Chiapas and all of Mexico. We know from
personal experience that every participant in a brigade, like those who
support us from home, will gain far more from their indigenous Mayan hosts
they they could ever give back.
Join us in the highlands of Chiapas!
