Teletón 2024 kicked off with fervor and enthusiasm as communities united to support children with disabilities across the nation. The event, with its abundant spirit of giving, highlighted various activities aimed at raising funds and increasing awareness for those who require rehabilitation services.
On this occasion, Yazmín Ramírez Espinoza, representing the governor of Chiapas, made her presence felt by visiting the Centro de Rehabilitación e Inclusión Infantil Teletón (CRIT) Chiapas. Accompanied by Ana Granda, the director of the State DIF (System for Integral Family Development), Yazz toured the center, showcasing the valuable services provided to children and young individuals needing rehabilitation. "Me siento muy honrada de poder visitar este CRIT, ya que desde pequeña acudíamos con mis padres a realizar nuestro donativo," Ramírez stated, emphasizing her longstanding connection to this cause.
During her visit, Yazmín also recognized the center's commitment to children and adolescents, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds. "El Boteo Teletón 2024, es una oportunidad para unir esfuerzos y recursos para apoyar a las personas con discapacidad y promover una sociedad más inclusiva," she concluded passionately, pointing out the significance of collective efforts and generosity.
Meanwhile, at CRIT Hermosillo, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the Teletón festivities took off. Starting at 2 PM, the event included a marathon of prayer, musical performances, and vendors offering tantalizing local delicacies. It drew hundreds of volunteers, emphasizing the communal spirit of the Teletón.
