Chain of Favors is a crusade intended to support and promote all those groups or associations in the country that are trying to do something for someone (what bends your back is not the load that is heavy but how you carry it).

1. What will your contribution be? The project is based in creating a directory of citizens, where people interested in giving a helping hand and willing to join the Chain of Favors’ crusade may enroll giving their personal information (name, address, telephone number) and their suggestion or proposal for help. This could be anything, not only monetary contributions, but time, work, materials, consulting, among other things.

Corporativa de Fundaciones, an organization created for this purpose has a solid infrastructure, with offices, meeting room and paid staff working full time that is exclusively devoted to receive the suggestions or proposals from the citizens interested in helping others. The organization has a list of all associations and organizations existing in the city and the kind of help needed to direct that “that you propose” to someone who will really benefit from it and appreciate it.

To get register in that directory of citizens, the only necessary thing is willing to engage in a long term commitment to help someone and call or e-mail the offices of the organization (Corporativa de Fundaciones) with your proposal. There is a wide variety of options to help. There are 110 associations within the organization and the Social Assistance of Jalisco has a list with other 440 associations.

Corporativa de Fundaciones has a video with 11 stories of unknown heroes and other successful projects to demonstrate that if our society participates, gets involved and organized, huge results are obtainable favoring the unprotected ones.

2. If we get together in a big group with a strong commitment, we may help to reduce delinquency levels in a very important measure. For example: if we support groups that take care of the children of the streets, or those fighting drug addiction, every person rescued will be one delinquent less (8 out 10 crimes are committed by a person under some drug influence)

3. In Mexico we have 20,000 groups trying to do something for someone and only 400 of them have the means to achieve their goal. In Jalisco there are 600.

4. Help us to find audiences where we may present the film “Chain of Favors” showing 3 minute stories of our city; it is a very positive and clear way showing how we may get organized.
