The Irish Mexican Chamber is hosting its 4th St. Patrick’s Party to benefit Guadalajara Clubhouse, an association dedicated to helping people in Jalisco with serious mental illnesses.
You can enjoy a traditional dinner with Shepherd’s Pie as a main course, cocktails, Guinness, Bushmills whiskey, Irish coffee, Irish dancing, songs and poetry, bagpipe music and dancing until late. The event is held at the Terraza Andares (in Plaza Andares) in Zapopan on Saturday March 9, at 8 p.m. Tickets, 1,000 pesos, from eventbrite.com.mx.
Guadalajara Clubhouse is part of Clubhouse International (clubhouse-intl.org), an NGO that seeks to end economic isolation for people with mental illness by growing the number and quality of Clubhouse rehabilitation programs worldwide. There are currently 350 local Clubhouses in 32 countries. They aim to offer people living with mental illness opportunities for friendship, employment, housing, education and access to medical and psychiatric services. This social and economic inclusion seeks to reverse the alarming trends of higher suicide, hospitalization and incarceration rates associated with mental illness.
The Irish Mexican Chamber has its origins in an initiative established in the early 1990s by a group of Irish and Mexican business people who actively promoted trade relationships between the two nations.
