Urgente: se solicita apoyo economico para pagar cirugia del corazon a dos hermanit@s Huicholes

Estimados herman@s de la luz:

Acudo a ustedes en busca de su apoyo espiritual y economico, para que a traves de sus redes de contactos en internet y otros medios de comunicacion, puedan dar a conocer la necesidad de operar urgentemente, a dos indigenas Wixaritaries (Huicholes), quienes como muchos de nuestros hermanos indigenas no cuentan con Seguro Social y requieren de una operacion para salvar sus vidas.

Si alguien tiene dudas y quiere verificar la veracidad de esta peticion, puedo enviarles los datos clinicos del hospital civil en que son atendidos, via e-mail, a continuacion un breve resumen de estos casos:


Primer caso: EMILIA, tiene 39 años de edad, proviene de la sierra Huichola, madre de 5 niños y el mas pequeño cuenta con tan solo 4 meses de nacido. Ella comenzo a sentirse muy mal y al llevarla al Hospital Civil para un chequeo, su medico encontro que tiene un serio problema en el corazon, y requiere cirugia. El personal medico del Hospital Civil de Guadalajara, esta listo para ayudar en la preparacion de la operacion. Asimismo, el cirujano Jaime Lopez Taylor, como siempre esta dispuesto a conducir la cirugia de forma gratuita.


En este caso, lo unico que nos hace falta es comprar una PROTESIS VALVULAR CARDIACA, que Gama Comercial cobraria con todo e IVA en: $19,000 M.N


Segundo caso: corresponde al niño DIEGUITO, que tambien es Wixaritari y tiene 4 años de edad lo que nos estan pidiendo para el es un OXIGENADOR, CON TUBERIA Y FILTRO, CABEZAL Y CENTRIFUGA, el costo de este aditamento proporcionado por GAMA COMERCIAL es de $16,675 M.N incluyendo impuestos IVA. Nota: Estos gastos no incluyen, gastos post-operacion.

Mexican Concert for the Indigenous and Street Kids of Guadalajara


Paco Padilla, singer, songwriter and ceramic artist from Gaudalajara, Mexico, will be performing in Vancouver on Saturday, May 9, at 8 pm and Sunday, May 10, at 12:30 and 7 pm at El Rancho Restaurant, 112 Kingsway (at Broadway). Concert is in support of the Mexican orphanage, Dulce Camino A.C.(Sweet Road). Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

Paco Padilla was born in 1952 in Tlaquepaque, a small town close to Guadalajara City in Jalisco State, Mexico. The original culture of Tlaquepaque was called Tlacapan, which means ‘men who make clay utensils with their hands’. Tlalic-pac means ‘over clay hills’. This early heritage is carried forward today by a number of ceramic artists, like Paco Padilla, who still calls Tlaquepaque home. “We set up the workshop in the same house in the tradition of my father.” He continues: “I have been close to ceramics all my life as my father was also an artisan. When I turned five I helped paint and decorate the pieces he created in his small workshop.”

Musician as well as ceramic artist, Paco is an ambassador of traditional Mexican songs in the tradition of Chava Flores and Piporro. In the style of the ancient troubadours, with guitar in hand, Paco has performed throughout Europe and Asia and the United States. Paco has 10 CDs to his credit and has written over 100 songs. Songs range from authentic poems of daily life to political, ecological and social commentaries.

Raul Rodriguez, Sheila Rios and Enrique Ortiz, fellow musicians from Guadalajara, will be performing with Paco Padilla at this fund-raising event.

Four years ago, Paco performed in Vancouver in support of the Fray Bartolome de las Casas Human Rights Centre in Chiapas, Mexico, founded by the former bishop of Chiapas, Don Samuel Ruiz. This time, he sets his sights closer to his own hometown of Guadalajara. Paco has often performed in aid of the Dulce Camino orphanage, inside Mexico. This is the first time he performs outside of Mexico for this worthy organization.

The Dulce Camino is a Mexican charitable foundation that works hard, with other foundations and organizations, to protect and help the street kids of Guadalajara, the majority of which are indigenous (from the Huichole and Nahua groups), and enable them to have a better life. The Dulce Camino provides food, shelter, medical attention and therapy, both to the children and often to their families as well. The Dulce Camino helps the poorest of the poor.

Please help support this worthy locally based organization to continue its fine work for the street kids of Guadalajara by attending the Paco Padilla concert. For further information or tickets please call: Javier Romero at (604) 278-8108 or
