The organization gives weekly arts and crafts classes including plastics, handicrafts, jewelry making, sewing, paper recycling, nutrition, theatre and acting.  There is also a library on premises where the habit of reading is encouraged. 

"Talleres" participates in cultural events, present expositions, children’s theatre and a variety of activities on the streets of Tulum.  They also collaborate in campaigns for environmental awareness and protection.

I had the opportunity to visit the “Talleres”, or workshops, recently.  The children were working on a batik project headed up by Sally.  Sally was teaching the children to make batik-designed greeting cards.  The children worked well together from start to finish, getting supplies out, working on their own project, assisting others and cleaning up. 

The “Talleres Escuela” is an enclosed palapa with electricity.  A second palapa serves as their library of books in Spanish.  Several of the year’s projects include the Anniversary to Taller, which everyone participates at the event in the Cancha Maya with children’s theatre, displays of their artwork, and a general party.  If you would like more information about Fundacion Talleres Cero or would like to contribute please call or fax Sally at 52-987-12136.
