Breakfast to help Piña Palmera after hurricane
Repairing the damage caused by Hurricane Carlotta
For that reason, supporters of Piña Palmera in Puerto Escondido have organized an event for Sunday, July 29 at the Hotel Arcoiris, on Playa Zicatela. The event will include breakfast (the hotel is well known for its “breakfasts for a cause” which have sought support for Piña Palmera en recent years) with entertainment and more, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Representatives of Piña Palmera have estimated that it will take 12 to 15 weeks of intense work by at least 13 people to repair the damage of the hurricane. Ten of those would be in charge of rebuilding the roofs and clearing up the surrounding vegetation, while the other three would take on repairs to the rainwater catchment system.
The centre has issued an urgent call for help from local communities, foundations and other funding sources for either financial support or the donation of materials.
“For Piña Palmera, the rapid reconstruction of its facilities will permit a return in as short a time as possible to its work in rehabilitation . . . . “ The centre works with about 500 people with disabilities.
The event on Sunday the 29th will include a breakfast buffet, awareness-raising videos, artesans, free admission to the hotel pool and live music by María Jimena. The cost of admission is $200; $150 for children.
