Article by Richard Stahler-Sholk

I've been spending time in the jungle region where the Zapatistas are developing a highly innovative model of alternative education in Maya indigenous communities. They don't have access to government resources, so I'm raising funds to purchase school supplies for the communities. See the attachment below for a description of the project and an appeal for funds.

Tax-deductible donations will be used 100% for school supplies, purchased in Chiapas and brought directly to the autonomous jungle region. To donate, make checks out to ICPJ (write “Chiapas Education” in the memo line) and send to:

Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice
730 Tappan St.
Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Please feel free to circulate this to anyone else who might be interested in supporting autonomous education. For more information, contact me, "Rich Stahler-Sholk":mailto:rsholk@gmail.com
