The Centro Comunitario Tlajomulco has been equipped to the highest standards to help in the development of needy children.
A fantastic new facility in Tlajomulco will enrich the lives of hundreds of children in two of the municipality’s economically deprived neighborhoods.
U.S.-based charity Children International (CI) opened its fourth metro-area community center this week to benefit the Santa Fe and Chulavista colonias.
Founded in Kansas in 1936, CI supports children in 11 countries across the Americas, Asia and Africa. Funding comes mainly through a program that matches sponsors in the United States and other countries to children in need.
The brand-new center in Tlajomulco will be the fifth opened in Mexico since sponsorship was first offered there in 2005. The three Guadalajara centers offer high-quality medical, dental, nutritional, psychological and academic support to kids from economically-challenged families.
Jack McCanna, vice president of programs at Children International, speaks at the opening of the Centro Comunitario Tlajomulco.
Facilities include a fully operational dental lab.
The loser of the bet promised to help fund the new center for disadvantaged children. Chivas won the game, but in the end all three men donated two million pesos each toward the cause.
CI will be responsible for funding the center on a day-to-day basis, a cost which is likely to be around 1.2 million dollars per year.

Although Fernandez, Vergara or Alfaro did not attend the inauguration, on hand to help cut the ribbon was Jack McCanna, vice president of programs at Children International.
The Centro Comunitario Tlajomulco is located at Boulevard Brasil 80, Fraccionamiento Santa Fe. Tlajomulco de Zúñiga.
