The children of Academia Cuauhtli sing “Aguila” to welcome Consuelo…

Hi, everyone! It’s me, KC, Consuelo’s eldest daughter. I’ll be writing a quick post highlighting our latest trip to Austin, TX…

On May 2nd, Consuelo was the featured speaker during the closing ceremony of events for the first graduating class of the Cuauhtli Academy. The event was held at The Mexican American Cultural Center in Austin.

To kick off the event, we watched a Danza Mexica, or Mexican folk dance. Many of the dancers were children from the Academy who learned traditional Mexican folk dances as part of the Academia Cuauhtli program.

And I must say, the event organizers could not have picked a more perfect day — the weather was gorgeous!

It’s always nice when we can accompany my mom to her events. My daughter and my husband were also in attendance to help support my mom. Not to mention that Consuelo felt it was important for her grand-daughter to learn more about her culture by taking part in the festivities.

A trip down Austin’s South Congress (SoCo) Street was a real treat, too. We munched on Mexican food, pizza by the slice, cupcakes, and Thai food from a food truck near the hotel. Good times, to say the least!

Our congratulations go out to the children of the Academia Cuauhtli. We sincerely thank them and the event organizers for their hospitality and for the opportunity to take part in such a special occasion. xo

The Ivan Project

During a one-day Be The One Program at Mabton Jr/Sr High School in Mabton, Washington, a student stepped up to the plate for his community with a vision of making it better. As he explained his desire to see his peers show pride in their hometown, he laid the foundation for a thrilling community development and clean up project that took place on May 3rd.

Ivan was recently on the news to shed some light on the project, which has in turn sparked interest in students from surrounding communities to come and join him. As a result, this past Saturday, several students from the local community helped paint over graffiti, pick up trash, pull weeds, and more.

Adrian, an Academic Specialist at Northwest Community Action Center says…

We are trying our best to follow up with students who attended the workshop Consuelo provided.  We hope to keep the fire burning in their hearts and to make some big changes in the school.

With Ivan’s courageous leadership, his team of classmates and school supporters have the brilliance and capacity to work miracles in their community, one block at a time. We stand with The Ivan Project and these promising young leaders of tomorrow.
