New Life Mexico – School campaign

New
Life Mexico has
launched a campaign this week to help provide desperately needed school
supplies and health and hygiene items for some of most vulnerable children
in Vallarta .

Health and
Hygiene talks on handwashing, teeth cleaning and body hygiene are taking place
with NLMeducators
in primary schools during the months of April, May and June. School supplies
will be distributed during June and July to the children who will be starting
the school year in August.

NLM´s “Wish
list” is posted on their NEW website www.newlifemexico.com but Philippa Vernon-Powell, the Field
Director here in Puerto Vallarta tells us that they are in desperate need of
the following items:

Backpacks,
pencil boxes/cases, boxes of 12 coloured pencils, pens, erasers, pencil
sharpeners, math sets and Spanish Dictionaries for Primary School
children.  Hygiene items include soap, toothpaste, washcloths,
toothbrushes and deodorant.

If you can help
with any of these items, they can be delivered to Applegate Realtors office on Olas Altas, number 477A,
across from the Piazetta Italian restaurant, just up from Kaiser Maximilian, Cafe San Angel and next door to Farmacia Fredy.
