Guadalajara Division collects, donates toys: Committee sponsors drive to benefit children.(Brief Article)

The Guadalajara Division of AMERICAN CHAMBER/MEXICO recently established a Corporate Responsibility Committee, whose goal is to motivate AMCHAM companies to broaden their civic involvement and actively promote a community-based agenda.

The committee is headed by Ernesto Iniguez, the director of Keminsol and a member of the AMCHAM GUADALAJARA Board of Directors.

One of Iniguez's first actions as committee president was to join forces with the Maquiladora Association (AIMO) in an effort to donate 1,000 toys to disadvantaged children during an April toy drive that was to end with a public event on April 30 (Dia del Nino). Four charitable organizations have been identified to receive these toys, which members were collecting and delivering to committee personnel throughout the month of April. "We sincerely wish to promote social responsibility among our companies starting with very simple gestures, such as this toy drive," said Jaime Rabago, president of the Guadalajara Division.
