“soon we created a non-profit organization called ANGEL NOTION and today there are more than 300 Canadian and American volunteers some who are year round non-Mexican residents and others who come for the winter.\u00c2\u00a0 But it is an incredibly gratifying organization full of friends where you can witness first hand the results of your volunteer and contributions.”\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
