DIF council
Newly installed Board of Trustees for Mazatlán’s DIF office.


For the first time in the history of Mazatlán’s municipal Desarrollo Integran de la Familia (DIF, or Family Services in English), local foreign charitable organizations will form part of the board of trustees.

At the DIF swearing-in ceremony yesterday DIF president Sylvia Treviño Salinas, wife of Mayor Carlos Felton, said her office is armed with a marvelous, passionate team to form a strong base for families, with particular attention to teenagers and children.

Among the 14 charities forming the board of trustees are local foreign associations Friends of Mexico A.C (represented by President Steven Backman), Vecinos con Cariño A.C. (represented by President Rudy Villalobos) and The Vineyard Church (represented by Fred Collom).
