Puerto Vallarta – Volunteering with community service organizations like the Kiwanis Club of Puerto Vallarta helps families build a greater understanding of the importance of giving back and the difference that one person can make in the lives of others.

By fostering a greater understanding of the social issues and challenges faced by others, voluntary work helps connect families to their community in a meaningful and fulfilling way.
In recognition of the significant impact volunteer service has on communities, Kiwanis International will hold its second annual "Kiwanis One Day," a global day of community service, on Saturday, April 5, 2008.
More than 600,000 Kiwanis volunteers across the globe will participate in this dedicated day of service in their local communities—and will donate more than one million volunteer hours in a single day.
Here in Puerto Vallarta, the Kiwanis Club of Puerto Vallarta will host a special Kiwanis One Day afternoon volunteering at Refugio Infantil Santa Esperanza (RISE), a non-profit shelter for babies and children under the age of 15 who have been turned over by DIF, a Mexican government social services organization that protects the rights of children.
RISE opened its doors in March 2001. Some of these beautiful children come from unbearable situations having been abused, neglected, or simply abandoned. Some have been transferred from other facilities because of overcrowding, and many have been in institutions for most of their young lives.
Special thanks to Banana Cantina and Puerto Vallarta Rentals Premier Vacations (PVRPV) for their assistance and compassion.
