  Kuira, Hola, Hello,
   
  I am writing this note to ask you for support for Apoyo Tarahumara.  Since 1994 Apoyo Tarahumara, a grass-roots project, has taken more than 150 tons of corn and beans to the indigenous Tarahumara people in Chihuahua, Mexico.  Suffering from a drought since 1992, due to deforestation and diversion of the little bit of water that exists, the Tarahumara have been struggling to survive.
   
  Apoyo Tarahumara consists of a small group of volunteers who donate their time and pay their own expenses to help the Tarahumara.  Twice a year, in June and December, we deliver 12 tons of food to the Tarahumara, and will now give at least one ton to a local Tarahumara school, which run by a women's cooperative. 
   
  We deliver the food directly into people's hands.  We do not have a staff or an expense budget beyond the cost of buying and delivering food.  You may also, if you want to, donate to cover the cost of travel expenses.
   
  Our effort is humble, but we are making a significant difference.  In return we receive cultural and spiritual nourishment.
   
  Please support our efforts by making a donation, organizing a fundraising event and/or inviting us to an event to speak about our project. 
   
  Checks can be made to:  
  Apoyo Tarahumara / I.F. (Integrities Foundation).
   
  Send donations to:
  Apoyo Tarahumara
  1170 C Street
  Hollister, CA 95023
   
  If you have any questions or would like to come with us please contact: 
  Joe Navarro, 831-634-0263, jlnhca@yahoo.com.  Thank you.
   
  Sincerely,
   
  Joe Navarro
