While the majority of ANA members were beginning their annual migration back North, the Amapas Neighborhood Association (ANA) began an English as Second Language (ESL) Program for the PoliceDepartment.

Amapas Neighborhood Association started a Recycling Program two years ago. It has been a high learning curve and one that we continue to master. Monthly we collect around 200 kilos of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), which is the most commonly recycled plastic (bottles) and about 10 kilos of aluminum.

VEA is Vallarta’s new neighborhood-based crime prevention program. Sort of a ‘Neighborhood Watch’ on steroids, providing instant reporting via Whatsapp, VEA is an acronym for Vecinos En Alerta – ‘Neighbors on the Lookout’ – and Amapas has been invited to participate.

Calle Hortensias was a mess. Sometimes described as ‘a collection of potholes held together by a bunch of cobblestones,’ the steep and narrow street leading up from Highway 200 was a rough ride, even on the best of days. The big gas and water trucks that regularly trundled up the hill just made things worse, […]
