A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .
Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.ivan

Get involved in Huatulco! Help the Bacaanda Foundation December 04, 2012 01:29PM | IP/Host: ---.prod-infinitum.com.mx Registered: 5 years ago Posts: 24 |
The Bacaanda Foundation is a small organization that works with indigenous Zapotec people from villages in the mountains above Huatulco. The Foundation has established two dental clinics, turned them over to the villages, and continues to support them with dental equipment and supplies. Bacaanda also provides youth development activities for village children, and educational activities through the local schools. Currently, the Foundation is working on economic development with a women’s sewing cooperative. For more information, see www.bacaandafoundation.org (web site is available but currently being updated).
You can deliver whatever you might be able to contribute—and visit the Foundation offices and shop—by going to the Centro Comercial in Punta Tangolunda (where the Tipsy Blowfish used to be). There you can see Bacaanda’s latest project: village artisans use natural materials gathered by mountain villagers to create animal sculptures for Noah’s Ark. This is a fundraising project—more information coming in the January 2013 issue of Huatulco Eye (http://www.huatulcoeye.com/)
If you're traveling to Huatulco, please consider bringing some of the items on their wish list:
FOR THE SEWING COOP
• Fabrics suitable for clothing
• Sewing supplies (thread, scissors, pins/needles, etc.)
• Reading glasses to help seamstresses with fine handwork
FOR THE ART/CRAFT WORKSHOP
• Art and craft supplies (acrylic paint, brushes, glues, large sheets of colored poster paper)
• Small power tools for handwork (Dremel-type saws, drills, shapers)
FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
• School supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, binders)
• Books in Spanish (all reading levels, but particularly upper elementary and middle school levels)
• Educational games (especially those that involve strategy, memory, math or language skills—Guess Who?, chess, checkers, Memory, Quarto or Apples to Apples (Spanish edition).
• Toothbrushes and toothpaste
• Bathing suits, new or gently used, all sizes (despite living less than 30 miles from the shore, many of the children have never been in the ocean and must swim in their clothes when they visit(
• Durable flip-flops/sandals for the children who come to us with no shoes.
• Basketballs (the one sports facility in some towns is a basketball court, but it's not much good without basketballs!)
• Soccer uniforms/supplies, new or gently used (all sizes, particularly in black; cleats in sizes 5-8 are particularly useful; any size shin guards)

I am so excited to hear that the cooperative is setting up shop at the old "Tipsy Blowfish" location! Every year I pack extras to bring. I meet wonderful local people everywhere that touch my heart. Many work very hard to carve out a living and everyone has families. My offerings of clothing for the children are always met with gratitude. It takes so little to make a difference to someone who could use a teeny-tiny break.
I will gladly be adding extras to my list this year. If this is your first trip to Huatulco and you are staying at Dreams, Barcelo, Las Brisas or Quinta Real you are within a two minute walk from this little strip mall. Trust me, you will be walking there often! It has shops, restaurants, excursions and now a cooperative. This sounds like a wonderful opportunity to give to a community that will touch your heart and memories.
Please think about packing a wee extra... or two:)
