The 'Pavillon de los Niňos' Facility
The Children's Pavilion for physically and mentally challenged children (and adults) in the northwest

- Classes for disabled children who typically do not and/or cannot attend school.
- Already more than 100 special-needs children await the opening - and we expect to serve about 300 children
