El Buen Amigo & LACA Non-Profit

El Buen Amigo & LACA Non-Profit Follow us on Instagram El Buen Amigo is LACA's fair trade storefront located in the heart of the Allentown district in Buffalo, NY.

Arts, Culture and Education | here at El Buen Amigo we offer fair trade merchandise from Latin America, Spanish language classes, venue space, field trips, fundraising opportunities & more! We offer fair trade arts, crafts, clothing and jewelry direct from artisans and farmers in Latin America. We obtain beautiful handcrafted items from artisans in Central and South America and the Caribbean, for

fair prices. In this way, we help provide impoverished individuals from developing countries with a living income and the opportunity to maintain a sustainable lifestyle for themselves and their families. It is also our mission to grow solidarity with and showcase to non-latino people the public the beauty and the value of Latino culture, a resilient lifestyle that has overcome the greatest tests of slavery, poverty, war,
and segregation.

It's not too late to volunteer to help us with our booth at the Allentown Art Festival! We'll need help both days setting up and taking down the booth at the start and end of the event. Let us know in the comments if you're interested - all volunteers will get an employee discount on our merchandise!

Just an advance heads-up - we won't be holding our usual beginner and intermediate Spanish classes this Saturday, because we'll be tabling at the art festival. We'll return to our usual schedule next week.

These adorable bobbleheads are known as Seismicos or Tlaolini - "earthquakes". They're handmade by indigenous Nahua artisans in Mexico, and they're the perfect decoration for desks, car dashboards, bookshelves, and anywhere else!
