TAMALE CHRISTMAS

1/4/2022

 
One of CAA’s alliances in San Ramón is with The Faithful Servant Missions in Bajo Tejares, an exceptionally poor area of San Ramón. Each December, the village women of Bajo Tejares celebrate a much-loved Christmas tradition by making hundreds of tamales to share with their families and neighbors. For the past eight years, CAA has helped by purchasing the tamale ingredients and helping make these special treats. Unfortunately, we have not been able to provide volunteers for two years because of the pandemic, but this year Mary Huber and Terry Handler presented Nicole Byker, a social worker with the church and community center, c304,000 from CAA to provide supplies and the labor to make them. This annual event is a line item in CAA’s budget.
The Mission is expanding its outreach in 2022 to include a parenting program and an English institute.
