Girasoles En Marcha
Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Celeste, and I am the founder of Girasoles En Marcha
www.girasolesenmarcha.com
UPDATE:
WE have reached our goal for our Summer Program! However, there are still many Sponsors that want to continue holding raffle for us to keep raising funds to bring more workshops and programs for our youth! It won't stop at Summer! We will continue to accept donations and all proceeds will go to benefit the program and keep it running. Your donations and contributions are the gift that keeps on giving! Thank you all for your support!
I am the sprouting seed of my Zapotec ancestors. My journey thus far has been a learning experience, with growing pains and helping hands to get me where I am now.
I have been blessed with amazing women that stand by me to pay it forward in this mission to empower our future generation of Latina girls and teens. We are 100% volunteer run and service all girls for Free! We have been running for almost 4 years, thanks to our community partners, and contributors that have selflessly volunteered to join us, in this Girl Empowerment March! We are bringing to life an enriching program this Summer. We have worked hard and have networked to secure a space for this Summer Program. My mother and I have also purchased some materials for this year's Summer Program.
The funds from this campaign will help us cover important costs for this year's Summer Program in which we will be serving 25 GIRLS!
Our theme will be HEALTH WELLNESS from a cultural perspective!
The funds will help us get t-shirts, for the girls and volunteers, yoga mats for each girl, which they can use for the program and take home to include yoga in thier daily lives. The funds from this campaign will also help us fund our workshop hosts for their skills and time.

It is beautiful to see the girls place themselves on their historical timeline in a critical but refreshing way . It hits home, because our DNA has memory. Learning their historical narrative is transformative and empowering and brings value to their identity. It welcomes them to be proud of their linguistic abilities and heritage while fostering a deeper understanding and solidarity with other cultures. Our ultimate Vision is to create and develop a more just society that fosters global unity. Exposing them to a whole narrative that includes the oppression, the struggle, the resilience, the community, the contributions, and the responsibility it takes to encourage them to be change-makers aware of the infinite possibilities!
Thank you all who have contributed and stood by us in solidarity in the past.
