Sat, 11 Oct

Salle Communale de Nyon (Perdtemps)

Amis de la Montaña de Guerrero

This Saturday, 11 October, will see the 3rd edition of our CENA MEXICANA in Nyon. This annual event is organised to support the work of TIKOSÓ with the indigenous communities of the Mountain region in the Guerrero State.   The Swiss association “LES AMI°ES DE LA MONTAGNE DE GUERRERO” invites you to join us for this delicious Mexican night. This Saturday, 11 October, we will welcome you at the Salle Communale de Nyon from 5 p.m. for drinks. We will take this opportunity to discuss with you the work carried out this year in this indigenous region of Mexico. The meal will be served at 7:30 p.m. This year, you will be able to explore Mexican cuisine by visiting several stands: corundas, sopesitos, pambazos and flautas await you at this venue. Each one will showcase different aspects of this diverse cuisine. As every year, both MEAT-EATERS and VEGETARIANS will find something to their liking!   This annual event is both charitable and festive. By purchasing your ticket, you are directly supporting TIKOSÓ's activities in Mexico, as all proceeds from the evening will be donated to this social organisation.   As usual, chef Gerardo Avena Sanchez will be travelling from Mexico to treat us to this enchanting menu. This time he will be accompanied by Armando Bartolo Avilez, a young baker and pastry chef from the Mountain region of Guerrero. This year, for dessert, you will also have the opportunity to taste a selection of Mexican pastries.   Tikosó has been defending indigenous rights for six years now. And last year, with your help, nearly CHF 10,000 were raised to support projects related to:   Food autonomy Comprehensive healthcare for indigenous communities The transmission of ancestral knowledge Women's autonomy and independence   All of this is based on a common idea: defending the autonomy of the Ñu Savi, Mepha'a and Nahuatl indigenous peoples, who make up the vast majority of this Mexican region of 400,000 inhabitants.   For this 3rd edition, you will also find our craft stand, with products sourced directly from small Mexican artisans (direct purchases, without intermediaries or price negotiations).   Feel free to bring your children along. They will be able to enjoy various activities during the evening, such as our famous piñatas. Every year we have new surprises in store!   We encourage you to buy your tickets in advance from our online ticket office! This will help us to organise ourselves better, prevent waste and give you the best possible welcome!   COME ALONG AND SPREAD THE WORD!   We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 11 October at the Grande Salle Communale in Nyon, to chat, share and celebrate together!   For more information about Tikosó's work: www.tikoso.mx
