Keep up with us on Facebook!!!! www.facebook.com MismaloyaLast year, The Amigos del Lagos Organization (Friends of the Lake), hosted a 40 person bus tour to the community of Mismaloya. This community, as well as others, are suffering because of the lack of charales for the fishermen and low wages for the women who make fish fillets. Amigos del Lagos decided to see what they could do to help. As the women are skilled embroiderers, Amigos del Lagos made it possible for them to present their embroidered designs at a fashion show for marketing students at the beautiful Universidad del Valle De Atemajac (UNIVA) in Guadalajara on July 22, 2011. Approximately 200 marketing students watched 20 students model the embroidery and manta top designs for men and women. It was a grand success with UNIVA deciding to sell the designs at the monthly students’ monthly Tianguis. Additionally, the fishermen’s wives found a mentor – the owner of Takasami Boutiques – to help them get off the ground. Amigos del Lagos is trying to find donations of interlock sewing machines for the fishermen’s wives. If you have one you are willing to donate, please contact Azu Bateman at 376 766-1654
