"To find financial support, to collect school material,
to publish a quarterly newsletter..."

1. The goals of the association are as follows

• To collect gifts in favour of La Casa.
• To seek foster parents supporting Mexican students financially.
  
• To collect school material in Belgian schools
  and to send it to Mexico.
  
• To find volunteers who are ready to go
  to Mexico to help La Casa.
  
• To publish a quarterly newsletter, " Buenos Días ",
  to disseminate information in Belgium concerning the
  activities of La Casa.
  

"The overheads are entirely covered by
the contributions of our members."

2. Overheads

Unlike many charitable associations, which admit having overheads of between 20 and 40 percent,
we can guarantee you that your gifts and sponsorships are sent to Mexico in their entirety.
Our bookkeeping journals are at the disposal of whoever wishes to review them. And our banking records
are available to verify the amount of the contributions sent to our N.G.O. for Mexico. The overhead costs
of "Les Amis de la Palmeraie" are entirely covered by the contributions of our members and of our
readers. In short, you have the assurance that your generosity is well placed.

"We all are volunteers."

3. The newsletter

"Les Amis de la Palmeraie" does not have salaried personnel (we all are volunteers), or rent (no offices),
or telephone charges (these are shouldered by our members), or costs for faxes or e-mail... Our only overhead
is the printing costs of "Buenos Días", postage expenses, and photocopying. These costs represent
326 euros for 2009!
