Christmas Party In the past few years the Mexican port city of Puerto Vallarta has suffered through the exodus of tourists caused by misdirected fears of the Swine Flu and followed by another massive loss of visitors due the the financial crisis and the drug violence centered near the US border. Even though Puerto Vallarta continues to be very safe for tourists and is a wonderful place for taking a vacation, local hotels and businesses are still taking a huge hit and have laid off much of their staff. These layoffs have had severe repercussions for the people in this city as more and more hotels, restaurants and tour companies lay off the parents of these kids. The poorest of the poor in Puerto Vallarta live in the Volcanes area of the city and cannot afford to purchase a toy or other special present for their children for Christmas. We want to help in a small way. We know that these children will always remember that special Christmas when they each we able to choose their own present. It is for this reason that we joyfully volunteer each year to help. Let us know if you would like to help us as well.
