The British tour company now operating in Puerto Vallarta, First Choice Signature Vacations has teamed up with Pasitos De Luz (Mamas Unidas Por la Rehabilitacion de Sus Hijos A.C.) to help support local kids and have fun in the process! Pasitos is a locally based Charity here in Puerto Vallarta. Under difficult circumstances they endeavor to support families from low income backgrounds and their children with varying disabilities Pasitos de Luz offers them a caring and loving environment as well as a home away from home. They offer nutritional services, physical rehabilitation, medical specialist's services, orthopedic equipment, occupational and speech therapy.
They provide moral and psychological support for the family and maintain a high standard of hygiene. All of these services are provided in an environment where the child will always be healthy and happy. The centre is run completely by volunteers, and all funding is provided by donations. Disabilities which Pasitos De Luz treats and supports include:
- Consequences of Meningitis
There are currently 80 children registered with Pasitos De Luz but many more children still need their help and the facilities they do have are in desperate need of an upgrade.
First Choice and its clients visiting from the UK and Canada
