We keep receiving many inquiries and responses regarding charitable organizations. There seem to be many people in Puerto Vallarta opposed to the increasing number of such “alleged” charities. The Tribune is and always has been supportive of genuine and authentic charitable work. Becas Vallarta, Casa Hogar Cornejo, peacemexico.org to only mention a FEW, are amongst the legitimate charities that raise funds for worthwhile causes unlike some “fundraisers” in town that surely do raise funds but for their own benefit. To make a long story short, use common sense, investigate, and ask for documentation, photos and references before you consider donating any money, especially a larger amount. Better yet, volunteer to be part of any “hands on “in the field dealing with beneficiaries.
Please share your thoughts and experiences with us regarding the matter.
This is a special issue in my opinion as we shift focus a bit to the FUN stuff in PV, activities in and around Puerto Vallarta for all age groups, both local residents and visitors.
Puerto Vallarta is a very unique place, those of us lucky enough to live year know this to be true. It´s like a smorgasbord, beaches, mountains, hiking, biking, surfing, dancing etc, if you ever get bored here you just haven´t noticed you´re already dead.
Unfortunately, many of us haven´t, for one reason or another, experienced the variety of exciting opportunities to discover the true beauty of the area outside the city limits.
Puerto Vallarta is many times safer than just about any city in the U.S. Can you find trouble here looking for it? By all means! Use common sense and be polite.
Anybody that´s lived here for a while can attest to the safety in Puerto Vallarta.
We hope you enjoy this week´s issue.
