FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Word has been received that the Friends of PATA will now be called Friends of Mexican Animal Welfare. The name was changed to accurately reflect what the organization does in assisting animal welfare programs in Mexico. Friends of Mexican Animal Welfare will continue to be a 501(c)3 organization. A new website is coming soon.

Last month there was a request for a hot/cold water dispenser for the Ancianos. I am happy to report that a hot/cold water dispenser is now up and running in their home.

A big thank you to the donor.

A request was received to ask if someone would be willing to teach a group of beginners Mahjong. It may be a little late in the season to start the lessons but if anyone is willing to take on the task now or next season, please respond to mujeresamigaszlo@yahoo.com

PATA will be holding its March sterilization clinic the end of the month. If you want to volunteer or donate old towels and sheets for the clinic contact Stan at stan@patamanzanillo.org or any PATA member.

A message has been received from Nancy Nystrom to pass the word that the “Up With People” or Viva La Gente” group will be in Manzanillo the end of March.

The group will arrive March 23rd and will be in Manzanillo for one week doing service work in the community, working with young people in the Universities. The group will also perform two shows later in the month. (See below)

Three members of the advance team have arrived to work with Casa Hogar Angelitos, the city of Manzanillo and state youth directors to make the event a success. There is one young man and two girls (from the US, Belgium and Mexico) in the advance group. A safe place with internet access is needed for them to stay. Either together or separate. If anyone has a room, apartment or other accommodations to donate for one, two or all three, please contact Nancy at nysfeed@comcast.net If you would like to know more about Up With People/Viva La Gente you can go to www.upwithpeople.org or www.vivalagente.org
