Piņata Parties for the Poorest Villages in the region of Cuquio

As a way of contributing to the economic viability of Cuquio while bringing joy and necessities to the people in Cuquio’s poorest, most remote villages, we host piñata parties. Many village children have never been to a traditional piñata party, nor have they had the opportunity to play with toys from a piñata or to taste a real cake made at a bakery. We now visit six of Cuquio’s poorest, most remote villages twice per year to offer the traditional piñata party experience to the residents while passing out dental supplies, shoes and other clothes, school supplies, and toys.

Villages visited include Los Sauces de Perez, Ojo de Agua Colorado (see below), Rancho Nuevo, Varaz Dulces, Juchitlán, and Agua Blanca. Expenses include the purchase of a piñata, piñata toys, candy, fruit, a cake, and shoes, clothes, school supplies, toys, and in some cases, medicines for parasites.

 

Please donate generously so that we can continue this important work.
