We did it! Thank you for help buying the lot neighboring C.A.C.I.T.A.!
With the help from many compañeras y compañeros, part of our grand dream that we started only a few months ago has come true. With support and solidarity from family, friends, groups, and organizations we were able to raise the almost 100 thousand pesos necessary to pay off the property next to CACITA. On Sunday, August 16th, we organized the “Gran Kermes Popular” of Appropriate Technologies, in the center of Oaxaca City, at the Plazuela del Carmen Alto, along with various groups, artisans, musicians, and venders of healthy and ecologically just products, with a result of over 2000 pesos that we were able to raise to complete the final contributions to this campaign.
That same weekend we paid off the total amount that we owed to the owner of the property, and also paid off various taxes and payments, and everything related to the property title. The land is now in the name of CACITA!!!
We have outstanding debts from various loans we took out to secure the acquisition of the land, and we’re still on our fundraising campaign to repay these loans that we have still ahead of us. If you still would like to support this initiative, you can make a donation to the paypal account following the link at the bottom of this letter.
This next year is full of visions and ideas of how we’re going to make the other part of our grand dream for CACITA come true. The house, the dormitory, the cistern, the workshop, the compost, the garden, the lot, the neighborhood. We have much work to accomplish and we invite you to get in contact with us, to see how we can collaborate, participate, and create together the appropriate technologies of liberation for the future.
From the depths of our hearts, to the heights of our dreams, we thank you very much for sharing with us this grand path of creation and liberation that we are building together.
Our home is your home.
