Scheduled for the evening of Saturday February 9th at the Animales Event Center, this fun event will feature casino-style games and a silent auction. Mark your calendars (including your new 2019 Animales calendar) and plan to join us for this highly-anticipated evening.   BVB Bake Sale at the Health Fair On October 14th BVB conducted a bake sale at Boquete Health and Hospice's second annual Health Fair at the Boquete Fairgrounds. Not even rainy weather could dampen the spirits of health-providers and vendors or the enthusiastic crowds who enjoyed the demonstrations, mini-seminars and free health screenings. Buenos Vecinos volunteers and supporters sold enough baked goods and sandwiches to sponsor a needy family for a whole year. Thanks to Boquete Health and Hospice for their gracious invitation to participate in this important event. Family of the Month - Meet Yeisel and her Family Yeisel, eleven years old, lives with her parents and four siblings in a modest house on the coffee farm where her father works. Last year she suffered a serious accident. The damage to her spine affected her mobility and now, even though she can walk, her gait is uneven and she must soon undergo surgery and fittings for a brace. Although her once-a-week physical therapy session is provided at no cost to the family, they are still responsible for the expenses of transportation and medicine. Pictured here are Yeisel, her younger brother Sebastian, her little sister Keisel, and her mother Norissa. Norissa expressed her gratitude for the help and support from FPI (The Handicap Center) and for the monthly bags of food from Buenos Vecinos.   How to help?
