Keeping traditions alive

 Kindergarten parade

No se pierde la tradición

 Desfilan los jardines de niños


Lanrry PARRA
Children of the kindergartens of Isla Mujeres held parades at various locations around the island on Tuesday, to commemorate September 16th, accompanied by their parents. These young children were not scheduled to participate in the parade on Wednesday, when the sun is very strong. The parade on Wednesday is expected to involve about two thousand people, including primary school students from Julio Sauri, César Mendoza Santana & Andrés Quintana Roo, as well as students from the middle school Benito Juarez and the high school Colegio Bachilleres. Personnel from the Navy will participate, with their land and sea units. Members of INAMAPM (Institute for the Care of the Elderly) will participate, as well as others. The route is planned to be along Rueda Medina avenue downtown, from the Naval base to the Fishermen's statue, then return to the wooden City pier, where the review stand of the officials will be located. It should begin around 8:30 in the morning, based on the program by the municipal authorities.

From Sally Margolis
Hi all!! We (Isla Animals) are gearing up for a HUGE Spay/Neuter, Vaccination, Wellness campaign for the animals in Rancho Viejo Nov 17-22. This is a very poor area in the municipality of Isla Mujeres. Most are living without electricity and running water. The situation for the animals there is dire right now with parvo & distemper running rampant, and heavy overpopulation. We expect to treat/vaccinate/spay/neuter 1000 cats & dogs with the cost of surgery at just $10us per dog. This may be the only time any of these animals see a vet. We can treat the existing animals, vaccinate others against disease, curb the population growth, and educate pet owners on proper animal care and make a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! We have the knowledge, experience, volunteers, and heart to make it happen. We are asking for all of your help to raise funds to make the campaign a reality. (We can also accept Paypal donations via our site islaanimals.org - just add RANCHO VIEJO in message, and cash in person on Isla Mujeres. Please, please share the link on your social media. It helps us so much. If you are not in a position to donate PLEASE do read the campaign & share, there is lots of excellent info in it about the work we do-There is always so much to do! Thank you for your time! http://www.gofundme.com/isla-animals-rv
