Sad news, good news, update

Carol Bell, one of the founding members of Mujeres, passed away on June 6. She served on our board for 4 years and resigned when she was diagnosed with ALS in 2010. Carol and I were close friends who had traveled together many times in the past 18 years. She had visited Chiapas with me on 5 separate occasions and loved the region and working with the women and girls of the cooperative.  Even after she was no longer able to serve on the board, she was a staunch supporter right up to her death. She will be greatly missed.

Our testimonial video is down for a couple of weeks as it had to be edited. It will be back up as soon as possible and the black box on our website will be occupied once again with this informative video.
