"Social Responsibilty"

Mapa Imports believes that every business large or small has an obligation to contribute a portion of its profits to a charity of their choice.

Chef de Charity

Our project will ensure that 100% of the donation from a fundraiser will help any charity/cause that has contracted our services because the premise is very simple. We are building a network of chefs, caterers, charities and celebrities that donate their time and talent to the featured cause.

We propose that chefs donate their to time and talent. Instead of getting paid the chef will donate that night's "salary" to the charity that is highlighted in the fundraiser.

Caterers donate their staff, wares and food if possible.

Celebrities donate their time and PR for the cause.

The charity will then have the benefit of maximizing it's net contribution and have a greater impact for their cause.

Please conatct us at mapa.imports@gmail.com if you would like more information or a power point presentation of our project.

Charity Cheers,
John Gallagher

The Children of Ayacucho Fund

The Children of Ayacucho Fund was established with The Resource Foundation to build schools, dormitories, and orphanages for impoverished ayacucho kids children in Ayacucho, Peru. Patricia and John Gallagher, owners of MAPA Imports donate a portion of our proceeds to support the Children of Ayacucho Fund.

The Ayacucho province was devastated by violence and destruction caused by the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso), which was active in the 80's and 90's in Peru. Many innocent children and citizens were caught in the wave of destruction, and the region still has not recovered.

The Children of Ayacucho Initiative was created to respond to this great need. Led by Father Antonio, a Catholic priest, this vital initiative is fostering change by reaching out to the poorest and most affected members of his community with a message of hope and reconstruction. He is leading the Children of Ayacucho initiative, which has been documented in Oprah's Angel Network. To date, a dining hall has been constructed and the construction of an arts and crafts workshop is underway.
