Mujeres en Cambio is the umbrella organization that began the Rug Hook Project. Their mission is to provide scholarships for girls so they can continue their education. It does cost money to attend school. They focus on girls 13 and up. One of the ways the raise the funds is through monthly luncheons and a few times of the year have special events like the one shown here. Patsy Dubois has this charming restaurant/event center about 1/2 hour from San Miguel. Every summer she makes a scrumptious luncheon at her mini hacienda. All the money for the tickets goes to scholarships. She donates the food and labor.
Our Rancheritas sell their rugs at these luncheons as well. For many years this was the only way they sold their rugs.
