On December 17 we welcomed our first cultural bazaar where we had the participation of different and talented exhibitors, all with the purpose of continuing to support vulnerable populations and at the same time have a fun and cultural moment. It was an afternoon full of music, sharing, taquitos, drinks, Christmas gifts, photography, art and a lot of desire to help.
We thank everyone who came to visit us for making this an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. We also want to thank all our exhibitors for being part of our first bazaar: Dos Agapantos, Puchita, Itandehui Magaña, Isaac Sol, Brote CuradurÃa Botánica, Lechita Clavel, Dibujo Centro CDMX, Pancha – JoyerÃa Contemporánea, Brownie Tremendo, Viejo Vago Brujo y MarÃa Portilla, Marmota Bazar, Mónica Loza and La Cana.
