Caring and Sharing at PAS

"The Student Council at PanAmerican School is organizing a new campaign at school called CARING AND SHARING. The idea of this campaign is to share what we often take for granted with people less fortunate than ourselves.

PAS is going to support INAMEX, which is an organization that provides shelter, food, medical and emotional support for special needs children and adults, whose families
did not have sufficient means to raise them. Some of these people were abandoned and abused, and therefore suffered many traumas in their lives. There are 42 people living in the institution, along with the staff members, who provide support 24/7 for them.
All of the staff members are volunteers, and these admirable people heavily rely on donations.

We believe that our school community is in a position where we can really make a big difference in the lives of these special people. We feel that it is part of our duty, as privileged members of society, to take on this responsibility and thereby teach and share the values of
social and moral responsibility to our entire PAS community.

The institution constantly has a big need for milk, since the special adults and children are on a special diet and taking medicines, which require them to drink from three to five cups of milk a day. Therefore, the first PAS CARING AND SHARING WEEK we will be collecting whole, liquid milk from each class.

Student Council and the INAMEX people are counting on you to make the difference! Please help us to make a positive difference right here in our own community. "

Last week 18 students from the school went to visit the Institution, including Anniken. It really made an impact on her to meet these abandoned and abused mentally retarded children. Every month (I think) the students will go to the Institution to help and play with them!

If you feel for supporting them, please tell me and I'll help you out!
