ALL donations will go to 'Carols Rice and Beans Program' which helps feed underprivileged children attending school in Zihuatanejo, Mexico.
During this pandemic the Rice and Beans program is helping to feed the children and families most affected by the loss of livelihood through the distribution of food hampers and the operation of Community Kitchens in the poor districts surrounding Zihuatanejo.
Description
For ten years, AMISTAD CANADA (AC) has been working to improve the lives of Mexicans-in-need through health and education Projects delivered in partnership with fourteen Mexican NGOs.
Projects include: mobile medical-dental service to remote communities; healthy school meals; underwriting medical care for sick and disabled children; supplemental classes in subjects such as literacy, computer skills, English and the arts; primary to post-secondary scholarships; a school for the Deaf; and a therapy centre for children with various disabilities.
AC participation in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge will provide Mexican-Canadians, and other runners who are attached to Mexico, an opportunity to support these initiatives.
