The Palalpa Society Needs You! - The Palapa Society of Todos Santos, a non-profit organization committed to assisting the children of Todos Santos as well as the total community, has outgrown its current facility and must develop a building program or find an appropriate new location. Through our many successful programs, last year 68 students learned in English language classes, 12 children enjoyed art instruction, several families received funding needed for crisis injuries and/or serious medical problems, 52 students were awarded scholarships for high school or college, and a large public lending library was maintained. English and art classes were self-sustaining for materials, and all teaching and administration costs were donated. This year the Palapa Society also is facilitating English Language Classes for local Mexican community members desiring to become bi-lingual in their places of work!

We need YOU in order to keep our programs functioning and expanding at their current high level of excellence! Helping with designing new facilities, contributing ideas or expertise for the expansion effort, giving or helping to raise tax-deductable donations to Palapa through the International Community Foundation, writing/seeking grants, or participating as a for-profit investor in acquiring property and building an instructional center... all are essential and welcome contributions.

If you are interested in working with us in this important new effort in any way, large or small, please contact Erick Ochoa at 612-140-3990 or - Hal Butler, info ( -at- ) palapasociety.org, 612-127-7535
