It seems like everywhere we go we see poinsettias – at the tienda (convenience store) ferreteria (hardware store) in the doorways and by the cash register, restaurants, offices, homes and even street taco stands as well as in the churches.  They are sold at markets and from the back of pick-up trucks. The plethora of poinsettias prompted us to inquire about their significance.  We were told the poinsettia was originally used by the Aztecs who called it “Cuetlaxochitle” (don’t ask me how to pronounce that). The Aztecs used the sap from the plants to reduce fevers and to make a reddish-purple dye.  It is said that Montezuma, the last Aztec King, brought the flowers from Southern Mexico in caravans to Mexico City because the poinsettia would not grow at the higher altitudes.

Ensenada Food Bank - Help Needed

A Message from Sonia Blanket - City Community Affairs, Ensenada, BC, Mexico

We are now in the process of creating a "Food Bank" that extends beyond the range of Mayor Enrique Pelayo’s administration. To date our approach for help with our mission has been positive and have obtained support from produce growers, merchants, the local chamber of Commerce, and Bread factories among others. The Ensenada Food Bank, to become a reality, must be designed and structured as a long term program. This is why we are calling for assistance from good hearted persons, organizations and our business community to be part of a team that helps our kids at home as opposed to children in other countries. The contributions and/or volunteer potential is in place. We just need to make a strong call to all and team up behind this noble task.
