Pilgrimage to Chalma
I spent a week in Cuetzalan, a lovely village in the mountains of Puebla. Tosepan Titataniske (a Nahuatl phrase meaning "Together We Will Overcome") is a Fair Trade Cooperative there, selling coffee, honey and black pepper among other things. They also have an ecotourist site called Tosepankali, which is just outside of the village. Tosepan does a lot of great things in the area; in addition to promoting Fair Trade, they have a bank which offers low interest loans to campesinos, they promote sustainable living and women's rights.
