Charity Bike Building, February 2008 ... Team Bonding

Thank you so much for being a part of our Charity Bike Build in Yucatan, Mexico on Thursday, February 14th. Both TeamBonding and Genzyme Biosurgery were honored to help build the children’s bicycles that were donated to your organization, the American Maya Foundation.

Below is a detailed breakdown of Genzyme’s contribution. There is no expectation of repayment of this gift.

It is understood that the American Maya Foundation, with the assistance of Father Bernard Quinn, will be responsible for distributing the bicycles to children of the Playa del Carmen area in an equitable manor.

We again thank you for the opportunity to work with your organization and wish you and those you serve the best.

Sincerely,
Shannon L. Stillings

Worth more a little late...
The Three Kings Arrived

With the objective to bring happiness to 350 needy children from the Ejidal neighborhood, the Foundation América Maya in conjunction with the Mexico City 's Radio Formula's program “Irene in Formula for a Better Life” brought toys (donated by Mattel and Hasbro) as part of the Three King's Celebration.

Motivated by noble intentions to create smiles on the smallest of children, show host Irene Moreno, the Foundation América Maya's Directors Brenda and Jorge Alfaro of Restaurant Ajua, Enrique Carrasco and Marco Victoria of Mexico City, and Father Jorge Castellanos begin months ago to coordinate the donors, logistics and the list of children who would receive these gifts.

This is the third consecutive year these massive toy programs has been organized by Irene Moreno for children in localities that work to preserve a noble heart with pure sentiments and for children who would not receive gifts such as were given out yesterday morning.

The gifts were given out at Nuestra Señora de Sagrado Corazon Church where you could see in each little angels face the joy. They could hardly contain their emotions as they toys were being unpacked as their imagined toys became a reality.

The mothers of the children, as the children themselves, thanked the organizers and asked the Creator to bestow blessings upon them.

The organizers made clear that they do not look for political or lucrative rewards. They wish only to help improve the lives of children and they are in the process of organizing a program to help families obtain birth certificates for their children so that their children can attend school.
