Canadian donors to Programa Pro Niños Incapacitados del Lago will be able to receive tax receipts thanks to a three-way agreement.

Apparel fashioned from high quality “manta” and linen manufactured in the nearby Lakeside town of San Luis Soyatlan will be featured at the annual Tarahumara charity Christmas party on Sunday, December 16. The Tarami company has been producing garments from the highly practical and comfortable cotton fabric for more than ten years. Besides focusing on high quality, the company is proud to have kept 25 local women employed sewing and embroidering the garments in typical colonial patterns. For those with more subtle tastes, clothing is enhanced with softer-toned delicate machine embroidery. Another point separating Tarami from the average is that the sizes in both men’s and women’s garments run from extra small to 4X in stock and to 7X by special order. Tarami will also be showing beautiful children’s clothing.

According to all who attended (and it was a full house) the recent ANIKAN charity bash held at the Lake Chapala Society to benefit the Los Niños de Chapala y Ajijic (NCA) scholarship fund took ‘success’ to a new level.
