Triqui Children From Oaxaca Visit Disneyland: Basketball World
Champions in US Tour
By Jorge Calvillo
Triqui Children
As a part of their tour through the US, the basketball team comprised of Triqui children visited Disneyland in California.
Invited by Latino and Indigenous communities in California, the children, also known as the "barefoot giants" had a great time at the gigantic theme park, marveled by the size of the mechanical games, according to Mexican newspaperEl Universal.

Previously, the winning team of the fourth minibasketball festival -where they surprised everyone by playing barefooted- enjoyed a match between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, and took a picture at the Hollywood sign.
Likewise, they have also played some basketball, playing matches against Catholic schools in the area, a team of journalists and a team comprised of activists of a pro-immigrant rights organization.
In statements which can be read on the Hispanically Speaking News website, Jorge Mario Cabrera, director of communications of the Coalition Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), said that "these children represent a ray of hope for those who want to succeed despite the challenges they face."

He added how regrettable it is that these young athletes don't receive the acknowledgement they deserve. "It's ironic that these children have to leave their country to be considered heroes," he said.
On his part, Gerardo Vásquez, who presides an organization of Oaxaca immigrant groups in California, told the Taipei Times of his admiration of the effort shown by the Triqui children.
"Despite having everything against them, these children have shown their strength on the basketball court and won. They've shown the world that, despite their circumstances, they're a ray of hope for the people of Oaxaca and Mexicans."

Diego RamosZipolite creí que el color de Roca Blanca era asi por algún mineral o tipo de roca pero me dijeron que es por el guano depositado por las aves! I thought that the color of white rock was so by any mineral or rock type but they told me that it is the guano deposited by birds! (Translated by Bing)

A Man Takes A Single Rake to The Beach. And When You Zoom Out And See It… Mind BLOWN.
If you live in San Francisco, California, then you may be lucky enough to come across the art of Andres Amador. He doesn’t paint or sculpt. He prefers a medium that is temporary but absolutely beautiful: a sandy beach at low tide. He uses a rake to create works of art that can be bigger than 100,000 sq. ft.
He spends hours creating these intricate masterpieces, knowing that the tide will soon come in and wash away his work forever.
While making his beach mural explorations, he uses a rope as a guide so that he can make the geometric patterns.
Consider yourself lucky if you happen to stumble across one of his playa paintings, because it won’t be there long.
Or even teaching others to create these beachscapes as part of a team building exercise.
According to Andres, it only takes a couple of hours once the tide is low enough to create the designs.
Andres’ creations are simply stunning and knowing that these delicate creations are temporary somehow makes them even more beautiful.
You should definitely Like Andres On Facebook and Visit His Web Site where you can buy prints of his designs if you want.
Above all, share his work by clicking the button below. It’s truly awesome.
