“Having spent years flying the ‘corporate flag’ between Europe and North America it is now exciting, rewarding and awe-inspiring to be so involved with the children in Puerto Vallarta. Their resilience is an inspiration. Although there are many laughs, there are moments of deep anguish and sadness, as well as stories that keep me awake at night.

The Mexican and US governments are currently investigating a paedophile ring in Vallarta. Their discussions are a stark reminder to us all of exactly what these children have been through. Their rehabilitation is obviously a slow process, but the confidence they find in schooling and the new feeling of dignity is an immeasurable benefit.”
