Hundreds of families gathered in colonia la Gloria to participate in the "Haciendo Futuro Juntos" / "Building Our Future Together" social assistance program, implemented by the administration of the municipal president, Juan Carrillo Soberanis, whose purpose is to bring a wide range of free services to the public, such as medical care, haircuts, oral health, medication support, glucose testing and blood pressure control, the implementation of procedures with governmental agencies, among others.
- An active government, is a close government, with open doors and is sensitive to the needs of the citizenry, for that reason, in response to requests by island families for whom we maintain a permanent link with them. We carry out these assistance brigades in which we will be going to the colonias and to every community in the municipality to provide a wide range of services, offering more and better living conditions for inhabitants - said the president who personally attended the event and supervised the work being carried out.
"The commitment of the City is to work so that the inhabitants of Isla Mujeres receive quality services and appropriate attention from the municipal public officials is reaffirmed through the realization of these events, which will continue to be carried out to improve the lives of all the islanders, "said Carrillo Soberanis.
As part of the actions implemented, the program "Doctor in Your Colonia" was carried out,(on the mainland part of the municipality) offering integral and dental medicine, optometry, vaccination against human papilloma and influenza, vaccinations for children under 5 years, rapid HIV tests, psychological assistance, delivery of free medicines, as well as beautician services by the Association of Stylists and Professionals.

The "Skate Park" should be investigated
El “skate park” debe ser investigadoVer mas
City Councilman for the MORENA party, Roberto Martinez has complained about 14 public works projects built with federal funds during the previous administration, particularly the 850,000 pesos for the fence at the senior citizen's dome. There have also been complaints about the money that was dedicated to the construction of the skate park and questions about whether some of the money went into the pockets of politicians with the previous administration.
Among the critics is specialist in the field, Fabián Gutiérrez Roa, who questioned the quality and excessive cost of 2.5 million pesos two years ago, and posted a video on the internet, which more that 10,000 people have seen. Critics say Mexico has changed, that politicians must be held accountable, and people are demanding transparency in government.
Water dried up in front of hospital
Sequía acaba con aguada frente a hospital [+] Ver mas
As a result of this prolonged drought, the body of water in front of the Community Hospital in colonia La Gloria has dried up, and the lush undergrowth that surrounded it has become dried plants, without water. This situation is favorable for those who have proposed filling in the area, so that it won't be a source of mosquitoes, and so that crocodiles wouldn't visit there during the rainy season, which has caused complaints from residents.
This area is located between the streets of Canané, Boquinete, Picuda and Paseo de los Peces. The young crocodiles come from the Mundaca hacienda, which is located 30 meters away, just behind the avenue. This small body of water was part of the Mundaca lagoon and they are connected in rainy season, containing brackish water where many varieties of local and migratory birds feed. It also communicates with the Salinas lagoon system that has been divided into three bodies of water by urban growth in the 1970's. There was a time when salt was produced for the fishermen.
There are some who want to conserve the environment, and rescue the body of water, which is currently properly fenced, for the protection of people, as well as (preventing) the entry and departure of crocodiles (who live) in the central part of the lagoon where they are protected.
The yellowing of the foliage around the lagoon is not unique, and the landscaping in public areas is also affected and in need of sufficient watering during this time.
No more violence against women and children
No más violencia a mujeres y niñosVer mas
During the commemoration of "Orange Day", which is dedicated to the prevention of violence against women and girls, on Saturday volunteers put up banners with slogans and information about this program. Statistics from WHO (World Health Organization) indicate that one in three women have experienced domestic violence at some point in their lives. In Mexico, "machismo" continues to reign, which affects the behavior of minors, said a participant in the program.
The Director of the municipal Women's Institute, Miriam Trejo, led the installation at the primary school "Andres Quintana Roo, where the first of several banners were installed with the slogan "Live Without Violence" (Vive sin Violencia).
Sra. Trejo León said that it is important for children and young students to become aware of violence and all its manifestations to prevent acts that damage healthy social coexistence and which generate behaviors that hurt women and girls. It is noted that violence can take many forms: psychological, physical, verbal, economic , moral, obstetrical and patrimonial.
Those who attended the event included sixth grade students of groups A and B as well as the campus director, María Elizabeth Tun Balam.
