Investours to Host Fair Trade Market Corrina Jacobs - Investours
April 5, 2012

Investours, a local non-profit organization that supports artisans throughout the Bay of Banderas, will be hosting a Fair Trade Evening Market at La Luna Restaurant on April 12th from 6:30 - 9:00 pm.

It will be a unique opportunity to sample authentic Mexican cuisine from communities throughout the Bay of Banderas, purchase artisan products made by local women, and enjoy a great night of music and prizes.

Investours, a non-profit organization that hosts ethical, cultural tours for socially responsible travelers, was founded in Puerto Vallarta last year.

On an "investour", travelers are brought intimately into the lives of local artisans who are seeking small loans to improve their business projects.

This is an opportunity for travelers to gain a perspective of the "real" Mexico, eat traditional foods, and make a difference in someone's life because Investours uses tour proceeds to support interest-free loans for the artisans visited. This micro-loan helps improve the lives of the artisan, his/her family and
fellow community members.

Investours invites you to help us empower the female artisans of Nayarit by joining them on April 12. The market they are hosting will give you a chance to meet many of Investours' clients while you sample and browse products from throughout the region.

The event was made possible by several local sponsors (mostly businesses owned and operated by women), including La Luna Restaurant, Mexi-Go Magazine, A Page in the Sun, Vallarta Food Tours, PV Sea Dive, the Spanish Experience Center, Provecho Vallarta, Charlotte Rempfer, Sue Fornoff and Harold Sokolove.

We hope to see you on April 12. La Luna Restaurant is located at 466 Venustiano Carranza in Old Town Vallarta.
