The Azteca- Chichimecas, the Otomi, Mazahuas, and many other native and ecumenical groups will be receiving the HOPI H2Opi runners in Mexico City and worldwide people will be praying for, meditating, chanting and thanking WATER simultaneously while the Hopi present the water from the run to four women who are water keepers in Mexico. Please check and go to HOPI for more info. Also check Hopi Run for info. We feel that it is important to inspire people with the love, gratitude and awe that water merits. We are water and the condition of water is a reflection of the condition of humans. So let us all join and bring forth the flowing, healing energy needed to support life. Helen Samuels, Coordinator of the Alternative Water Forum in Mexico City. A forum which starts with a prayer. "Respect water and Life" The prayer the HOPI are bringing to Mexico. *Guerrero Azteca Project: March for Peace March 12-27 *A 241 mile march that aims at ensuring that the Latino voice of opposition to the War is heard loud and clear across the Americas.
