Primary schools held Revolutionary Day parades in nearby streets
Desfilan primarias por 20 de noviembre

ISLA MUJERES, 24 de noviembre.-
Four days after Revolutionary Day on Nov. 20th, most of the primary schools have had parades separately in the streets near their respective schools. The longest parade was by the primary school "Andres Quintana Roo" who walked from their campus to Rueda Medina avenue near the monument to the Fishermen down to the Magana ferry pier, and then returned to their school, which is located at the northern end of Juarez Avenue. They were in costumes alluding to the date including those of the Adelitas and other characters of the Mexican Revolution, as well as in sportswear.
Regarding mid-island primary schools; "Cesar Mendoza Santana", of colonia Salinas, and "Julio Espinosa Sauri", of colonia la Gloria, each had parade activities alluding to the start of the Revolución Mexicana, as did the young kindergarten students of the private school "Jean Piaget".
The teachers explained that these activities were carried to justify the spending by the parents to purchase the special clothing for their children, which could not be avoided because the announcement of the suspension of the parade on November 20th occurred only a few hours in advance of the scheduled start time.
After each school had parades near their facility, the students returned to regular educational activities until the scheduled end of the school day.

The Hospital director, David Valenzo Loaeza, anticipates that new equipment will be installed in the Dentistry offices of the General Hospital in upcoming days, with support form Governor Roberto Borge Angulo. This area was consumed by fire following a short circuit from the overheating of the machine that sterilizes surgical equipment. This is the only area of the hospital that is out of operation, and the rest of the facility has been operating normally since last weekend. It has also been supported by a mobile medical unit which has two general consultation rooms and a dental office.

Mangroves destroyed to build piers
Recently a gap was cut in the mangroves in Sac Bajo, in the area near Villa Rotundo, which goes about 20 meters between the water and the road. It was shown to the reporter who noted it is otherwise hard to detect from the road. It is noted that there a dozens of piers in the area, of which many are 'irregular', and their owners are suspected of having cut down mangroves, and apparently PROFEPA has not held them responsible. (Procuraduría Federal del Protección al Ambiente / Federal Environmental Protection Agency).
Back to normal at General Hospital
Hospital Integral vuelve a la normalidad[+] Ver mas
With its first surgeries scheduled for Monday afternoon, the General Hospital has returned to normal except the dental area, following the fire on Tuesday. The Director, David Valenzo, said the facility is 90% operational, and dental service is being provided by the mobile unit sent by the state government. There is also a program to repair window glass as part of the need for general renovations. The interior was renovated, and patients began arriving, and surgeries were rescheduled after waiting for a week for the work to be completed.
There has been criticism on social networds about the lack of fire extinguishers at the hospital. Two firetrucks were non operational, one of which broke down on the way to the fire.

The youth group “Carisma Joven” of Isla Mujeres spent a week participating in a religious gathering in Ecatepec, in the state of Mexico. They shared the word of God with nearly 2000 households. They arose each day at 7am, despite the cold weather, and attended Mass before beginning their evangelic fieldwork, when they invited people from six colonias to the Masses celebrated in the evenings in the streets. That was followed by a 'holy hour with Jesus,' which included many blessings. They have an invitation to return in February, and appreciated the support of the priests Raúl Sánchez and Jesús Martínez Penilla.

Isla Animals campaign for the upcoming November Clinic-Spay-Neuter-Educate
Sally Margolis on FB....
Sally Margolis on FB....
Hi everyone, I just posted a campaign for an Isla Animals
November Spay/Neuter & Education clinic. The only way to make
change is through education of pet
owners and particularly education of the children-and spay/neuter
campaigns. At the last big IA campaign 220 animals were spayed/neutered.
There will be an education station at this clinic and Isla Animals is
also set to go to the schools. Please continue to support an
organization that has made great strides with 15 years of steady service
to the island. And please, please help us share this campaign! Thank
you! "This is Lucky's campaign, let's make it everything it can be." -
