A Very Special Children's Day for RISE Kids
Chris Amo
May 05, 2010
Friday, April 30th, was indeed a special day for the children from Refugio Infantil Santa Esperanza, a shelter here in Puerto Vallarta. They enjoyed an afternoon of food and fun at Casa Tigre, home of Seth Cloutman and Cristhian Rios.
Activities included swimming, dancing, pi?atas, chalk drawing and eating. Muchas gracias particularly to Julie and Jose from No Way Jos? Restaurant, who provided a great lunch for the children and volunteers; Georgia and Gholi Darehshori from Casa Karma who paid for the cake, ice cream, and other party items; and Paul Van Vleck who took some wonderful photos. A great time was had by all.
Seth Cloutman is also the driving force behind the new deli, Para los Ni?os, located by the second entrance to Conchas Chinas between the OXXO store and Applegate Realty. All profits from this magnificent venture will go to children's charities in Puerto Vallarta, including the Refugio, Pasitos de Luz, Nuestra Huerta (a local elementary school garden project), and the Becas Vallarta scholarship program.
