Buenos Vecinos Newsletter June 2018


 

Boquete Video Festival Supports BVB

On June 16th the Boquete Video Festival held another showing of locally-made videos in their annual competition. It was a fun, creative, and well-attended evening of entertainment in the Clubhouse at the BCP. Buenos Vecinos thanks the Festival organizers for, once again, supporting our charity with the proceeds from the entrant’s fees, and the sale of Festival t-shirts.




Creative BVB Members Provide Some Unique Raffle Items

Look for the BVB Table at the Boquete Tuesday Morning Market beginning July 3rd to buy raffle tickets for beautiful home décor pieces. The proceeds of your raffle ticket purchases will provide non-perishable food for some of the area’s neediest families.

Sylvette Day, a long-time and energetic member of our organization, is also a skilled quilter who has designed and created some of the area’s most treasured quilt-art pieces. The raffle item she has created for Buenos Vecinos is a 60”x60” quilt fashioned from 100% cotton Indonesian batiks. This rich, exotic quilt would look great as a wall-hanging, a decorative bed cover, a TV-watching throw or simply draped over an armchair.



Germaine Sturtz, is also a long-time member of BVB. Known as the “Queen of the Garage Sales” for her organization prowess planning and executing our Venta de Patio Sales, she is also a very talented designer. Her “art plates” and “shell mirrors” have been much-coveted treasures in our previous raffles. She has crafted another of her stunning shell-encrusted mirrors for this raffle. The brushed metal frame features sea shells in one corner. The finished piece measures 21” X 25,” and weighs around five pounds. A focal point for any room, this beautiful mirror is going to attract a lot of attention (and raffle ticket buyers!)

 

 



 

Family of the Month 
Meet Ana Elizabet

When the families of Fundacion Pro Integracion gather on Saturdays to provide social interaction and support for their handicapped member and for one another, Benita makes sure that her oldest child is there to join in. Ana Elizabet was born 19 years ago with cerebral palsey. Although she is wheelchair-bound and cannot speak, Ana understands what people tell her and responds with a smile and wonderfully expressive eyes. She is a portrait in joy.

Ana and her four younger brothers and parents live in a one room house for which they pay rent and electricity. The other biggest expense, besides the anti-seizure medicine Ana must have twice each day, is food to feed the family. Benita explains that the food Buenos Vecinos de Boquete (BVB) provides each month helps them meet those needs and they truly appreciate it.
