Cuentos from Our Work- April 2022

Jimena is in the front row to the right with our other winners!

Winning through Art & Health at the Mexican Consulate!

We are super proud of Jimena Rico-Diaz for the gorgeous mask she designed in a mask coloring competition hosted by the Consulate of Mexico to highlight health and safety!

She won third place and was awarded four tickets for the Woodland Zoo Park and four tickets for the Seattle Aquarium.

Two other students from El Centro de la Raza also received honorific mentions for their creativity.

We are very proud of their work and pleased to work with organizations like the Consulate of Mexico that encourage creativity and health to flourish in the community! 


Federal Way Community Shredding Event

In collaboration with the City of Federal way, we were able to divert 1.6 Tonnes of confidential paper waste from a landfill!

For context, that is the equivalent of the weight of a Toyota Corolla or an adult hippo! 

Have some papers been accumulating with sensitive information in your household?
