El Bajio - please explain the Token Store for those who do not know about this program in San Juan Cosala.

The Token Store is a project where we "Give a Hand Up, Not a Hand Out"

The people of San Juan Cosala can work in the community or take classes and receive tokens for their efforts.  We pay one token for every half hour worked or one token for every hour of class.  We have a large group that gathers every Tuesday to clean streets, we have two ladies that work twice a week with Anita's Animals, and other community service projects.  The classes are self-improvement classes and are English, cooking, sewing, crafts.  We also work with the Feria and their Terracycle program to collect certain recyclable waste and we pay tokens for the bags of waste collected.  

We have a store twice a month where they can buy clothes, shoes, household items, toys, etc. and pay for them with the tokens they have earned.  We do not accept money.

Please visit our website for more information and some wonderful stories and pictures.
