Christmas Joy

SEASONS GREETINGS! 2007 From Angel Notion

Angel notion has a passion for giving to those with greater needs and lesser means!

Once again we are bringing joy to the less fortunate children in the state of Quintana roo! The 23^rd of December our Santa By surprise program is literally that, we show up with lots of pickup trucks and cars full of toys to the less fortunate areas of town! When we arrive the kids start running and yelling to their friends and family and in no time at all we have thousands of kids surrounding our vehicles awaiting their Christmas surprise! In 2006 you helped put together 27,200 toys.

Just for the record the past four years we have passed out 58,700 presents.

2003 2000 presents

2004 12,400 presents

2005 17,100 presents

2006 27,200 presents

The Angel notion clinic is in full swing we have assisted more than over 100k children and adults in the community in the last 4 years. 9 children have received urgent open heart surgeries just this year alone! We have 4 children waiting for their life saving surgery which cost 15,000.00 dollars a piece, if you’d like to sponsor a child we are able to give tax deduction in the US and Mexico!

CHRISTMAS 2007

Season’s greetings, well another year has passed and Playa is even larger, over 250,000 people live here now. It is time for our annual Christmas toy drive. This will be the Bomberos 8^th annual Christmas toy drive and with Angel Notion it is our 5^th year. The first three years the presents where only for the Bomberos children, all 15 of them. We received so many toys we stated delivering them to the Colosio. We now have 50 fire Fighters with 75 children. By this time next year we will have 100 Fire Rescue personal. Our new station in Akumal should be done as well as the sub stations in the Ejido & Nic Ta Ha. We have one more fire truck and Ambulance waiting to be shipped from California. I’m asking for your support once again not just the Fire Fighters kids or the Cam school children but the thousands of children that will not have a present if we don’t give it to them. Everyone should be happy at least one time per year. Please help put a smile on someone face that is not as fortunate as you are. Many of you feel the same way as we do that it is to everyone’s best interest to put a little back and to help those who are less fortunate.

You can reach me at my home phone 984-873-2675 or my cell 044-984-806-4671. to pick up your cash donations for the surgery’s. We will also give you a Tax deductible receipt for your donation.

Happy Holidays to you and your families

Meet the Group from MSU

The purpose of the November 2007 project is to identify, assess and document a group of children and adults who have communicative difficulties that are associated with or result from cleft lip and/or cleft palate. From this group of children and adults a subset will be followed in a future project, most likely in March 2008. A group of 10 graduate students from the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders who are enrolled in CSD 823J, "Medical Aspects of Speech-Language Pathology" will be at the Centro de Salud in Nic te Ha. Dr. Peter LaPine will direct and coordinate all aspects of the project. Clinical supervision will be provided by Juile Tobin, M.A., a speech-language pathologist. (Julie has already participated in a previous MSU project with Angel Notion!) As always, the relationship between Michigan State University and Angel Notion brings many benefits to the people of Quintana Roo. This upcoming project will also develop the internet linkage between MSU's main campus in East Lansing and any Angel Notion project, regardless of where that project may be located. The internet link will in the future lead to research and teaching opportunities for MSU faculty and students; it will provide a source of training for young mothers with handicapped children and it will link Centro de Salud with programs and personnel at MSU.

The members of the November project are pictured here. Pictures of several others are not yet available but will be posted soon.

Angel Notion continues to progress and succeed in Playa del Carmen. Together with MSU, Angel Notion achieves its goal: "children become priority, and people like you make a difference."


Ashley Blom (below) will develop the language assessment components.

Kristen Owns (above) will work with Annie O'Brien on the speech development components.

Ryan Dewey (below) will develop the hearing screening, Melisa Herta (right) will develop the language assessment for infants and toddlers, and Erin Werner (lower right) is compiling the oral mechanism components.

The Team from Michigan State is coming back to Playa del Carmen! Dr. Peter LaPine and a group of graduate students will return to work with Angel Notion for the 21st project together. See http://www.comdis.msu.edu/ for some additional information.

The group will arrive from the chilly temperatures of Michigan on November 7, 2007. The goals for this project are to identify a pool of persons with cleft lip and/or cleft palate, or significant craniofacial anomalies, that can be seen by future teams. One specific goal is to establish an internet connection via real-time video links between the clinic in Nic te Ha and the main campus of Michigan State University (http://www.msu.edu/). Another goal of the November visit is to continue to develop and secure the research opportunities in the Yucatan that were begun in the Playa/MSU Summit in May 2007.
