Rotary Club of Huatulco - 3rd Annual Have a Heart Event
Saturday, February 18th 2012 will see the Rotary Club of Huatulco presenting the 3rd Annual Have a Heart/Da Tu Corazon event at the Las Brisas Resort. This highly anticipated fundraiser generated approximately 85,000 pesos last year.
These funds, representing almost the entire annual budget, supported such worthwhile community projects as 75 cataract surgeries, the completion of a water-well for a local village, and posadas to several nearby villages during the Christmas season where toys and candies were given to the children and basic grocery items distributed to each mother. Rotary continues to support an orphanage under the auspices of the Agape Foundation through one of our members Padre Domingo. As well, the Rotary mobile dental chair visits outlying communities providing children with much-needed dental care. Rotary chartered a Rotaract Club in 2011 & mentors a group of 17 high school & university students who aspire to be part of the Rotary family & do projects aimed at the youth in the community. Plans for the development of a library for Huatulco continue to be discussed in conjunction with other organizations.

Organizations such as Nuevo Amanecer & the Red Cross will benefit from this campaign as their clients will have the opportunity to receive wheelchairs through this program.

Like Mexico’s Chavela Vargas and the late Mercedes Sosa of Argentina, Mexican-American singer and songwriter Lila Downs is an heir apparent in the storied tradition of formidable Latin American female folk singers.
The Oaxaca native, whose mother is Mixtec and whose father is from Minnesota, has used her smoky, operatic chops to give cherished standards a new visage. She's also created vibrant musical alchemy from an assortment of seemingly disparate influences and genres — often tapping unexpected collaborators (like Argentine funk rap duo Illya Kuriyaki & The Valderramas in her latest album) to do so.
Even when her songs are infused with pop or broaching a timely issue (like narco-trafficking in her song “La Reyna del Inframundo," "The Queen Of The Underworld), Downs's music remains steeped in indigenous and pan-American cultural pride and traditions. On “Paloma del Comalito (Dove of the Comalito)," for example, which is a new track from her recently-released album Pecados Y Milagros (Sins And Miracles), Downs weaves sweeping Andean choruses into a quirky Mexican cumbia.
Lila Downs plays at El Museo Del Barrio on Saturday night. Download "Paloma del Comalito" above or watch her live performance of the song “Los Pollos (The Chickens)" below.
