In order to provide services with quality and warmth through programs of the Department of Child Protection (DPI), the Voluntary System of Puerto Vallarta DIF, chaired by Cecilia Ulloa Zámago, reopened their facilities on Wednesday to serve approximately one thousand children and youth.

With the work she did with the Volunteer Program, just over 80 thousand pesos was raised. The funds were spent on paint for the interior and exterior of the property, a dome was built in the central courtyard, the reception area was expanded, office doors were remodeled and masonry improvements were made.

Prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony, Ulloa Zámago announced that the next project in the works will be "Mother Heads of Family" which mainly supports the training and certification of women.

Meanwhile, Fregoso Magaly Ortiz, President of the System for Integral Family Development (DIF), thanked and acknowledged the work and dedication of those involved in the Voluntary programs.

"The reopening of DPI means closer ties with institutions that have turned the spotlight towards us and trust that the public policies implemented to address social phenomena that afflict children are run professionally and accurately," said Fregoso Ortiz.

In DPI are programs for prevention and education of the values of children, youth and parents, such as: Child Sexual Exploitation (ESI), Comprehensive Care Program Teen Pregnancy (PAIDEA), the Program for Attention, Discouragement and Eradication of Child Labour Marginal Urban (PROPADETIUM) Psychosocial Risk Prevention (PREVERP) DIFusores Children (PAFIC), Sports, and the 12 skills of good treatment for family living that was implemented in this administration.

With these programs, the DPI care and prevention to a total of 950 people, including children, adolescents and parents is provided. In addition, monthly family groups with various supports of psychology, counseling and despensas (packages of home needs) are met.

DPI facilities are the second space of DIF for the Volunteering works, with the first being the Training Center located in the same complex. The Volunteering program began in August 2013 with fundraising events to reopen the DPI facilities through the "Adopt Vallarta" Program.
