The System for the Integral Development of the Family (DIF), chaired by Candelaria Tovar de Dávalos, acknowledged the solidarity of the people in Puerto Vallarta who donated items at area collection centers over the last 10-days to help victims of the earthquake that struck Oaxaca and Chiapas.
“Once again we show that we are people with great heart, we have collected more than three tons of relief supplies and food, that tomorrow will begin to be sent through Aeromar and Aeromexico, to whom we thank you for joining this cause to reach the communities that need it most in Chiapas and Oaxaca,” said the president of the DIF.
