Flooding in Tabasco, Mexico

 

How you can help with the relief efforts in Tabasco.

One of our readers sent us a public service announcement on how we can help our neighbors in the state of Tabasco get clean drinking water. In addition, there are various drop off spots, in Playa del Carmen and the Rivera Maya, for non-perishable food and clothing items as well as fundraisers that will be helping to raise money for the relief efforts. Om Hotel and Lounge Bar and the Coffee Cafe (look for further information below) are two local Playa del Carmen businesses that are helping with fundrasing and relief efforts. If you know of additional drop off spots or fundraisers please let us know so that we can add them to our list…..

 

Where and how to help in Playa del Carmen:

The Coffee Cafe in Playa del Carmen has an area in the cafe where you can drop off non-perishable food and clothing items.

Om Hotel and Lounge Bar are hosting a fundraiser on Thursday November 8th to collect food and clothing as well as donate 10% of their bar revenue to the fundraising efforts.

The following public service announcemet was posted on www.hispanicvista.com

In an effort to respond to the needs of the over 800,000 displaced flood victims the recent flooding in the Mexican state of Tabasco, the International Community Foundation (ICF) has initiated a campaign to raise monies to provide safe drinking water and direct aid to reduce the spread of cholera and other waterborne diseases through the foundation's International Water Emergency Relief Fund which provides immediate relief to communities and victims of natural disasters in need of safe drinking water and health and sanitation systems in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.

All donations made to ICF's International Water Emergency Relief Fund will go to benefit the Mexican Red Cross delegations in Tabasco to provide emergency relief to the flooding victims in those states. Without question, the Tabasco flood is the worst natural disaster in Mexico's recent history with its long term community based impacts paralleling the 1985 Mexico. So, ICF encourages donors to give generously to those in critical need of assistance.

Donations to the benefit Tabasco flood victims can be made to the International Community Foundation or by mail to:

International Community Foundation
 11300 Sorrento Valley Road, Suite 115,
 San Diego, Ca. 92121.

Thank you for your on-going support of ICF to address the critical community based needs in the regions that we serve.

Sincerely,


Richard Kiy
President & CEO
