Organized by International Children’s Advisory Network, Inc.
KIDS Mexico City Challenge of 10
We are the members of KIDS Mexico City and we are all children and youth with cerebral palsy and related disabilities who receive services at APAC, a nonprofit organization in Mexico City. We are raising funds to bring two of our members as well as two accompanying adults to this year's iCAN summit. We are so excited to get there since this is our first time visiting a foreign country. For 10 days, we will complete different activities which foster the inclusion of people with disabilities in our community. Please help us get to Montreal!
