Ongoing construction for the new home of Pasitos de Luz in Puerto Vallarta
Pasitos de Luz is a non-profit organization that serves the special needs of disabled children and their low income families who live in and around the communities of Puerto Vallarta. Pasitos de Luz supports more than 140 children in total but can only support a small number on any given day due to the size of their current building.

Casa Connor is in partnership with Pasitos de Luz to assist in building a larger facility to accommodate their high demand.
Construction for the new Casa Connor facility for Pasitos de Luz began in November 2011. This 15,000 square foot facility, built to look like a castle, will house multiple therapy and education centres, a therapy pool, respite rooms and a large kitchen to provide meals. It will be able to accommodate over 200 children daily.
It is Yolanda Sanchez’s (Founder and Director of Pasitos de Luz) dream to create this extensive facility to provide loving care the children at Pasitos need to enrich their lives.
Only through the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of the people in our communities can we make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. We look forward to working with you to achieve this goal.
It is for this reason that Teena and Peter of Casa Connor are asking for support in seeking donations for this great cause.
They have announced the Mexican Fiesta fundraising event which will be held in the gymnasium of the Calgary Christian High School on 5029-26th Ave. S.W., Calgary, formerly Westwinds curling club.
The date is Saturday, September 14, 2013, at 6:30 pm. Doors will be open at 5:30 pm.
Dinner tickets are available for $25 per person donation. Drinks are not included but will be available. To make your reservation and purchase tickets for the dinner, please email Teena and Peter at oudmanp@hotmail.com.
There will be a silent and live auction as well as a raffle. The raffle tickets will be $20 each and no more than 250 raffle tickets will be sold.
If you will not be in the Calgary area on September 14, any donations for the continuation of the Pasitos de Luz construction project will be very much appreciated. To help, please visit the donation page.
We invite you to add your charity or supporting organizations' news stories and coming events to PVAngels so we can share them with the world. Do it now!
