Community outreach projects conducted this month by ANAVETS Mexico Unit 19 embody the spirit of Good Samaritans, people who go out of their way to perform acts of kindness for others.
ANAVETS is the acronym for Canada’s Association of Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans, and its first Mexico charter was granted in 2020.
On Thursday, September 19, Unit 19 President Rob Bosch led a ceremony to donate 20,000 pesos to Julie Hensley, chairperson of Mi Bebé y Yo, a charitable organization that assists new mothers at Lakeside by distributing blankets, diapers and newborn clothing. Mi Bebé y Yo also provides guidance on the responsibilities of motherhood and the importance of breastfeeding.
The funds were raised throughout the year via Unit 19’s weekly 50/50 draws and a silent auction held during its September 2 anniversary celebration.
