New Resale Shop to Open at Entreamigos in San Pancho pvrpv.com November 26, 2010
San Francisco, Nayarit - The always innovative Entreamigos, a non-profit community education center in San Pancho, is due to unveil their latest project in a push towards sustainability - a new Resale Shop set for a grand opening on December 16th, 2010.
Entreamigos is coordinating a clothes and goods drive in Puerto Vallarta to help gather goods to sell in their store. The proceeds from the store will be used to support education for children and families at the beautiful Entreamigos education center in San Pancho.
This Saturday, November 27th, clothes and goods will be collected at the Puerto Vallarta Old Town Farmers Market. Please bring your gently used stuff on Saturday, visit the Entreamigos booth and learn more not only about the new store but about some of the amazing upcoming events, lectures, concerts and activities that Entreamigos is planning for the 2011 season.
Please help us by dropping off your used goods. If you cannot make it to the Farmers' Market on Saturday, please email Nicole at nrswedlow(at)gmail.com to coordinate a pickup.
If you aren’t already familiar with the Entreamigos Community Education Center, it is certainly a destination to visit in the region. This nonprofit organization recently remodeled and opened a 16,000 sq foot model sustainably designed facility that is dedicated entirely to providing educational opportunities for the community.
The large, free public library, computer center, cinema room, sports facility, women’s workshops, recycling center, gallery and cafe will now be accompanied by a gorgeous new resale shop. You can visit their website at entreamigos.org.mx to see great pictures and get more info.
The new Resale Shop has been made possible by generous support from Xocodiva Artisan Chocolates in collaboration with the Victoria Women in Need Society. It will be spectacular!
Entreamigos primary focus is to increase educational opportunities for the children of San Pancho in Nayarit Mexico. To achieve these goals Entreamigos runs an art collective non-profit store, a library, a computer center and a collection of educational and community based workshops and initiatives. Entreamigos is entirely funded by donations and almost completely run by volunteers. To learn more about our programs and activities please visit entreamigos.org.mx.
