April 25 In less than a month, the Human Rights Commission in Isla Mujeres has carried out two investigations involving the Community Hospital. An agreement was reached concerning recent complaint about an episiotomyh, with reconstructive surgery having been done this morning at the hospital for no charge. She is expected to be discharged Thursday evening. (See yesterday's translations.)
The other investigation concerns a resident who died at the hospital from a heart condition and was unable to be treated due to a lack of medication.
Celebrating "Orange Day"

The International Day for the Eradication of Violence against Women was commemorated with a presentation about the importance of preventing this problem among the girls of Isla Mujeres, and with a Day of Beauty in colonia La Gloria, by the students of the "Kathia Monforte" beauty school. They provided haircuts for men, women and children, as well as hairstyles, and braids, attending to 60 people between 9am and 1pm.
Storm drain cleaning
The personnel of Civil Protection, which includes the firefighters, were cleaning out the storm drains downtown to prevent flooding when it rains, because they become clogged with an accumulation of trash. The Director of Civil Protection, Helman Ulises Berman Graniel, asked the residents to cooperate and avoid littering in the streets, noting, "It is a joint effort between the community and the government, because the cleanliness and care of Isla Mujeres depends on everyone". He explained that only in this way will the streets and avenues of the municipality remain in good condition, allowing islanders to travel normally, even in the rainy season, preventing accidents and traffic congestion.

Sunday, April 22 Earth Day Action for Isla is having their third annual cleanup event. The past two years divers and snorkelers cleaned under the downtown piers, and groups picked up trash along the Caribbean beaches.
From their FB page:
For the third year in a row, Action for Isla is happy to announce that we will be hosting our big Earth Day Clean-up, to bring awareness of this problem to our residents, and unite our community to work towards Ending Plastic Pollution. We will be tackling the waste build up on both land and sea with an in-water Dive Against Debris and simultaneous beach clean up!
🌎In 2016, 62 volunteers got together to remove 650kgs of waste from our beaches and seas, last year both numbers grew
with 148 people collecting and sorting a whopping 1,090kgs of trash!!
This year we hope to go even bigger! And we need your help!
📌Our 3rd Annual Isla Mujeres Earth Day Clean Up is this Sunday, APR 22!

(behind Casa de la Cultura where the ¨Isla Mujeres¨ letters are) at
