Dear Sir,
Gillian Whitehead’s letter in GR edition (January 24, 2015) is the tip of an iceberg. For the past ten years I received five or six letters a week, but the last mail I received from England was in early October.
My enquiries in Ajijic met the same response as yours, but as UK mail is shipped direct and not via the U.S., this doesn’t seem to apply. Many British expats report identical problems and one is still waiting for a registered post mailed last October!
When I emailed Correos de México, their reply merely suggested that I had given correspondents the wrong box number.
Three editions of a fortnightly magazine: 8 September, 6 October and 24 November arrived together in January. As each would presumably have arrived in different mail sacks in different months, and there are several editions missing, there’s no logic to this at all.
It would be interesting to know what is really going on — not least because of the escalation in identity theft and sensitivity of information contained in our mail, together with the sheer inconvenience involved.

Dear Sir,
This letter to the editor is a symbolic gift to represent my deep appreciation and gratitude to the Lake Chapala Society Student Aid Program, because even a small portion made a huge difference in the important challenge to fulfill my dream of having a college education. With your help, I thrived in the midst of difficulties.
In June of 2014 I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and feel better prepared to bring some of my learning back and return it to this community after having learned significant professional skills, and much more about myself.
I am starting a new phase of my life that is full of challenges and adventures.
In the name of the Mexican people, I acknowledge the immense value of this organization and the work you do for the Lakeside population.
Thank you for your support and for blessing people’s future lives with your inspiring actions!
Livier Ayon
