Pasitos de Luz (PDL) is a non-profit organization providing services to children with disabilities and their low income families. Isa Mundo Foundation visited PDL back in 2009 and we partnered with Meryln Power to install solar panels in 2010 to help reduce the cost of electricity and allow children to benefit from a heated pool and therapeutic bath.
PDL currently serves about 140 children but can only support a small number on any given day due to the size of their current building. CASA Connor is partnering with PDL to build a new facility that will serve the increasing demand in the area. The new site will be 15,000 square foot and began construction in 2011.
CASA Connor was established by the Caring Abroad Society of Alberta, and by family and friends of Connor Vanderveen. Connor is a young man who passed away in October 2011 from Hunters Syndrome—a genetic
degenerative disease with a terminal diagnosis. To honor the life of Connor, his family and friends decided to assist PDL to construct a larger facility and provide much needed services to children with disabilities in the Puerto Vallarta area.To learn more about CASA Connor visit their website at www.casaconnor.org
