Shawn Jacula in Mexico

Shawn Jacula, broker/owner of Re/Max Prairie Realty in Vermilion, Alta., recently returned from a trip to a small village of 1,200 people near Colima, Mexico where he participated in a work week held by Project Amigo. It is a charitable organization with a mission to enable poor children of the Colima state to achieve their highest potential by providing education opportunities, material support, enrichment activities and medical and dental services not otherwise available to them.

“I first learned of the project through fellow Rotarians who visited the project in the past,” says Jacula. “After looking into it some more it was an opportunity that I had to participate in.” Projects including sorting donated clothes, wrapping them for 333 children, and delivering the gifts as well as insuring the clothes fit each child.
