We are here today as part of the
mission district complete count committee
This is the third event that we've had in march
to get the word out about the 2010 census
and make sure that the mission gets counted
and particularly today we're focusing on the yucatecan mayan community
It's very very important that they get counted
because up until now there's been unofficial estimates
of what the community is and
they are that there are in between 10 to 15 thousand in the bay area
helping our community of yucatecan area
mostly they all live in 16th and mission, most of them
and our office is right across from here
we have mayan, yucatecan
they speak mayan dialect
and we have huichol, another dialect part of mexico
but it's more from Chiapas
and we also have folks from guatemala
also helping their people in their own language
to fill out the form for the census.
