Hola Tejas!

This week we’ll try to explore the Latin roots of Texas with some Mexican food, a little bit of dancing, and some games and activities! We’ll also have a piñata, which is a shape made out of paper and plaster with candy inside. You get to smash it and take the candy!

J1 Café: Hola Tejas!
Join us for an evening of celebrating the Latin roots of Texas with free Mexican food, a short Salsa lesson, activities, and a chance with the piñata! It’ll be a smash!

Thursday, 7 – 9 p.m.

Don’t get in line, Dance in line!

Last semester we set aside some time each week for students to spotlight their own country and culture. We certainly intend to continue that next fall, but for the next two weeks we’re going to spotlight the great state of Texas! This week we’ll celebrate with boots and boot-scootin’ (country line dancing) and next week will have a Salsa party with music and chips!

This week we’ll have Texas cookies, Texas facts, line dancing, and free Chick-fil-A!

Fight for love this Valentine’s Day

Celebrate the holiday of love by fighting for those who have neither freedom nor love. Join the movement to help abolish slavery. Both of these organizations below work with people at all levels of society around the world to prosecute human traffickers and rescue the victims. Take this opportunity to take the next step.

Be mine?

Since Valentine’s Day is next Tuesday (guys, don’t forget!), we’ll be celebrating it J1 Café-style this week. Valentine’s Day is a holiday to celebrate those you love, but there are many for whom “B Mine” isn’t sweet. It’s slavery. There are 30 million slaves in the world today, many of whom are trafficked for sex. Therefore, we’ll celebrate this Valentine’s Day holiday not only by talking about love in relationships but also in discussing how love moves us to help those in need. For more information about this issue, visit NotForSaleCampaign.org We hope you’ll join us this Thursday.
