Alzheimer Mexico - Learn and Act

We want to begin by thanking the generosity we have received this year, a year with great challenges and many experiences in favor of people with dementia and their environment.

In September, world Alzheimer's day is commemorated, this day seeks to disseminate information about this disease to generate greater knowledge about it, raise awareness among the population and that those who suffer from it attend support groups.

 That is why during this month we live the great event Alzheimer- Learn and Act 2021, whose objective is to guide and raise awareness among family members, caregivers and the general public about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

So far, 17,908 people have entered the official platform of the event, the material will be available for free, for families, health professionals and the general public who need to learn and act on the field of dementia.

A great event like this requires great efforts and none of this would be possible without our great sponsors, we look for great alliances and brands such as Laboratorios Carnot, Senosiain, Laboratorios Biogen, Nativa 5, Nefintec have joined.

During the months of October and November, the assistance of the beneficiaries has been increasing at the day center, currently we receive around 25 people per day.

The special dates are not far behind and this year for the Day of the Dead (Mexican tradition). We celebrate it with a costume contest, dance, bread of the dead, and the classic delivery of the skull (sweets). Giving way to our December dates, on the 16th we held the inn and Christmas meal for the beneficiaries, in the workshops they made piñatas and filled them with sweets and fruits, so that that day they could be broken, Christmas gifts were made and we had a traditional Christmas dinner.

During the month we return to external events taking our stand to the Volunteer Fair in the University City Islands and the JAP (Private Assistance Board) Christmas bazaar where we invite the university community to participate in our volunteer program and We also sold products with a cause, which allow us to raise funds for the benefit of the foundation.

We thank all the people who have contributed in some way to improve and strengthen our cause. To all and all those people who clicked the donation button or bought a product with a cause, to all those who dedicated their time to volunteering, to the companies that decided to form a strategic alliance with us, to the foundations and associations that they accompany us.

Thank you for being a hope for life!

We want to continue being bearers of good news… and share with you all the hard work we, the collaborators of Alzheimer México IAP, did every day during May, June, and July to reach out for all the people who are in need. Today, more than ever, we are aware of our purpose “to provide comprehensive care not only to elderly people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias but to their relatives and caregivers to improve their quality of life.

In May we had the chance to celebrate Mother’s Day (May 10) along with prestigious TV program A quien corresponda, aired on channel 13 and whom we would like to thank for all the attention and safety provided to our participants by complying with the COVID-19 safety protocols, making this a very special day for everyone. During the same month, we also achieved a successful sale of our producto con causa for Mother’s Day fundraising campaign to carry on with our occupational therapy workshops.

We are in constant training so that our personnel is highly capable to perform the different tasks in the areas that form our day center. We have taken courses such as Enrichment of the relationship with the donor, Google Ads, Dementia health, breathing physiotherapy, cleaning and sanitation.

Alzheimer Mexico implemented a whole day of training called “Alzheimer Day”. On this day, we work on our areas of improvement in the workplace through training courses, workshops, teamwork tasks and exhibitions by our collaborators to become aware of the work they do in their areas.

In June and July, we appeared in different means of communication: Aquí nos tocó vivir, hosted by Cristina Pacheco on Channel 11, Aura Salud and Portal yo también with the interview “In the middle of the pandemic, dementia can also be treated from home”.

We’ve developed a special product for Father’s Day with the participation of our beneficiaries, which consists of a coffee packet from our allied brand Etnia 52, and 3 chocolate swarms (typical Mexican candy bars) all placed in a wooden basket, also generating a good fundraising and outreach.

Alzheimer's at home continues to grow, work has been done to improve and implement new things within the platform, such as the Ask the Expert section where you can answer specific questions about older people.

The fundraising area has been in charge of looking for strong allies such as: Biogen Laboratories, Senosiain Laboratories, Lundbeck Laboratories, Carnot Laboratories, Visiting Angels, among others, to request financial sponsorship support for the realization of the expected Alzheimer's event - Learn and act 2021

Let us remember that ... Alzheimer- Learn and Act is a free event whose objective is to guide and educate family members, caregivers and the general public about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

We invite you to participate in the next Little by Little campaign, from September 13 to 17 where all donations of up to $ 50 dollars and @GlobalGiving will add up to 50% of what you give for the campaign.
