This past Friday morning, my wife, Conchita and I along with Eileen O’Leary had the opportunity to visit Pasito De Luz, which is the childcare center in the Pittial  area, located Exiquio Corona 545 Col. Bobadilla . Puerto Vallarta, Jal. México C.P. 48295. <p>

We arrived early, and there were only several children there ahead of us, so that gave us the opportunity to spend some with them. There were two young ladies there, volunteers from England, who along with the regular staff were feeding the children.  While we played with the children as best one can, many more started to arrive.  In no time at all, all four of the little rooms were overflowing with these challenged children ready for their breakfast.  One little one, who I thought to be about two, already had her stomach attached to her feeding tube.  I found out later that she is 5 years old.<br>

In spite of all of their challenges, they are a very happy group of children.<b

Yolanda Sanchez, not only is she the lady who started all of this, but she also is the one who keeps it all together.  She told us very excitedly that now after 5 years of pleading with the administration of Puerto Vallarta, they have finally given her a large piece of land to build a large center on to accommodate her ever growing population  of children.  This is her dream come true. 

Now if we can find an Angel to help her, that large center will change from a dream to a reality.<br>
            
Our mission this morning was more than just to visit Yolanda and the children.  Eileen O’Leary’s Theatre On The Bay, has just completed a season of three plays at the NH Krystal, and had two special benefit performances which all the proceeds were earmarked to go to Pasitos De Luz.  We were here now to deliver that check.  <br>
             
Looking around at the needs, I could see that we could easily use ten times what we were able to raise, but I know that there are many others out there that are helping this worthy cause.  But Yolanda needs much more than just money, she needs people who care to come and to visit and show these children love.  Even if you don’t have money to give, surely you can spare a little love for these children. If you do, you will be blessed by the experience.
