Our Foundation has donated to “Pasitos de Luz“, a registered non-profit charity organisation providing care for disabled children of low-income families in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay region of Mexico, on the occasion of the International Day of Awareness celebrated by the United Nations on 3 December every year since 1992. A certificate of appreciation was presented to the Foundation by the relevant organisation.
With Love, Solidarity and Empathy, We Can Build a Life Without Disabilities Together
Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “This special day is an opportunity to raise awareness in all societies and to support everyone to live a life without disabilities. Respect for people with disabilities is respect for humanity. We can overcome obstacles together and support each other. Obstacles are difficulties that can be overcome with strong will. The determination of disabled people teaches us how strong we can be in life. As the Foundation, we have donated to “Pasitos de Luz” in Mexico in order to provide the necessary support to all disabled people in the world regardless of religion, language, race, region and gender. As the Foundation, we will continue our support and efforts for a world that embraces the disabled. Happy 3 December International Day of Persons with Disabilities.”
Pasitos de Luz
Founded in November 2000, Pasitos de Luz is a registered non-profit organisation providing care for disabled children from low-income families in the Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay region of Mexico. All services are provided 100% free of charge. Pasitos de Luz is located in Casa Connor. The children who come to Casa Connor often suffer from acute physical and/or psychological disabilities and many of them are unable to enter the general education system. In addition, these children are provided with a safe environment during the day, enabling parents to go to work. This income is vital for many families struggling to make ends meet. They offer a wide range of services completely free of charge, including physical therapy, psychological care, nutrition and healthy living, educational programmes and much more.
