This photo site was created in order to allow individuals to share their photographs with the amazing people they met while working in Chiapas. I hope this site can also serve as a reference to anyone thinking about going on a delegation with Schools for Chiapas. Photographs better than most else, can paint a picture of what to expect in Chiapas.

Schools for Chiapas supports the autonomous, indigenous communities of Chiapas, Mexico in their efforts to create a just, democratic, and dignified education including autonomous schools, community health trainings, ecological agricultural studies, and alternative market development. In the face of corporate globalization, we join the Zapatistas and others in the effort to build capacity and skills for healthy, sustainable, and self-reliant communities. We join people of conscience everywhere in promoting alternative models of education and action that challenge and resist environmental degradation and human exploitation.

For more information about the organization, or to arrange your own life changing experience in the steamy jungles of southern Mexico please visit our website:
