On Saturday, April 24, we held the third edition of our Valedor Saturdays, sales events with which we seek to support the valedores in generating income and continuing their social integration process.
Last Saturday, April 24, the third valedor Saturday of 2021 was held, as part of the strategies to reactivate activities and sales events with valedores, in this context of confinement and reduction of activities of all kinds. That is why, at Mi Valedor, we continue to apply all health protection measures for everyone’s care. We know that it is not easy to feel confident after so many events that we have experienced in Mexico and in the world, however, we will continue with all the attitude promoting our work and that of our valedores.
This event was held in Parque México, and the most recent edition began to be sold, Valedores del mundo, ¡unÃos! and there were six volunteers who accompanied the valedores during their sales. It is important to mention that this activity was the first of the year that had volunteers, hoping to have many more soon, and that you decide to join to be part of the change. Sign up here.

In the company of the anthropologist Fabrizio Pistillo, the advocates created a dictionary in which they established what various terms commonly used in social policy instruments directed at socially excluded people mean to them.
