ZAPOPAN, Jalisco; September 29, 2022.- The fifth edition of "Calcutta is everywhere" was held, an initiative created by the Pan American Life Department, which was born in 2018 and each year seeks to help sectors of the community that need support or live in some vulnerable situation.
Little Heroes
On this occasion it was aimed at people with disabilities and was attended by a total of 483 people, which were divided into 100 sponsors (hosts of the guests), 190 volunteers, 148 guests (people with disabilities and companions) and 45 members of Social Work and Committee.
Calcutta is everywhere
"It's a great job, where we support each other a lot, we have a great time and we are many people. Seeing the smiles of the children, there is nothing better," shared student volunteer, Alejandra Tellez of the Calcutta committee.
Some of the associations involved in this event were: CIRIAC, Faro de Alejandría Nuevo Siglo A.C., Riendo Somos Conciencia, Fundación Santa María, Instituto DOWN, Cordica 21 and Amisadac.
Jose Pablo, a Panamericana student, commented that this is his second year in Calcutta and he likes it very much because it is a great satisfaction to see the smiles the children get.
Activity highlights
In addition, the volunteers organized various activities for the children to spend a pleasant afternoon, including dances, magic acts and a beauty salon, among other activities. Also, as is tradition, the students of the School of Institutional Administration prepared dishes specially designed for the children's enjoyment.
For Panamericana it is honorable and satisfying to know that both collaborators and students of the Campus have the initiative to create events with social impact such as Calcutta.
