February: Tabasco Flood Awareness Month
In an attempt to increase awareness to the situation in Tabasco, Mexico, MEChA de Stanford and the Tabasco Flood Relief Coalition of the Willing has declared February "Tabasco Flood Awareness Month."
The group will focus it's energy on raising funds to assist in house reconstruction. Money will be raised and given to ProViVah, a nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Mexico, who will build a house for every $2,000 raised.
