Tequisquiapan, Mexico: October 12–19, 2010

Focus: Everyone

Background: Located in the south-central part of Mexico, in the state of Querétaro, Tequisquiapan is approximately 2 hours from Mexico City. It is famous primarily for its thermal waters, but also for its beautiful colonial architecture and streets, and its production of wine and cheese. The three-day festival of cheese and wine is held in the vineyards of the area during the first weeks of May in the central plaza. Before the Spanish conquistadors arrived and introduced cheese and wine to the area in the 1500s, Tequisquiapan was inhabited by the Nahua and Chichimeca people and referred to as “Tequesquiatlapan,” meaning “river with carbonated water.”

Its location in the heart of Mexico provides an ideal climate year-round with warm, sunny days and cool nights. The average temperature year-round is in the mid 60s, and rarely goes below 50F.

Accommodations: We will be staying with families from the community, and work side by side with them on various projects. In general these will be homes of people that are somewhat better off then those that we will be helping. The accommodations will be comfortable but in no way luxurious. There will usually be indoor plumbing, although most commonly cold showers.

Humanitarian Projects:
  • Community Learning Center- we have partnered with the local government for the construction of a community learning center for the people of Tequisquiapan. We will complete the construction of this edifice
  • Local constructions projects for community and church families (bathrooms and cement floors)
  • Teaching workshops (English and medical-oriented)
Payment Schedule:
  • Payment 1: non-refundable $150 deposit due on acceptance.
  • Payment 2: $400 due September 4, 2010
