The Amapas Neighborhood Association (ANA), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for all residents and businesses in the Colonia Amapas area of Puerto Vallarta, now has a new office in the San Marino Hotel on Rodolfo Gomez, and they need to furnish the space. They began with two major donations: one from an anonymous contributor for $10,000 pesos/$526 USD and another from
Casa Cupula for a table, 4 chairs and an air conditioner worth $16,000 pesos or $842 USD. But they still need some help to cover the costs of office furniture, supplies and renovations. A
GoFundMe account has been set up to collect donations. Please consider supporting the
Amapas Neighborhood Association as they continue in their work of enhancing the quality of life through improvements in security, streets and infrastructure, and responsible development in the Colonia Amapas area of Puerto Vallarta.
