The Los Cabos Children's Foundation (LCCF), a prominent civil society organization and grantee, has announced an ambitious investment plan for the period from July 2024 to June 2025. With a budget of 32 million pesos, the foundation will support 40 specific programs focused on improving the quality of life of children in Baja California Sur, with a particular emphasis on the area of ​​health.

The executive director of the foundation, Marisa Comella, reported that the programs will benefit the 42% of children in the region who live in poverty, a situation that limits their access to basic health services. "Next period we will support 40 programs within the spectrum of children's health throughout the state, with a special focus on Los Cabos, where the need is greatest," Comella said in an interview with the media.

During the previous year, the foundation invested 27.5 million pesos, benefiting approximately 11,762 girls, boys and adolescents, of which 91% reside in Los Cabos. The LCCF has focused its efforts on critical areas such as cancer, congenital heart disease, mental health prevention and nutrition, topics that, according to Comella, often do not receive the necessary support from authorities due to lack of resources.

"Our work focuses on filling the gaps in the system, especially in critical medical areas where the lives of many children depend on these programs," she explained. Additionally, the foundation is collaborating with Youth Integration Centers to address the problem of addictions among children and young people, highlighting its comprehensive commitment to child well-being in the region.

The LCCF continues to be a pillar in the fight to improve the quality of life of South Californian children, especially in the most vulnerable areas.

Gabriel Macías, representative of Mexico Grand Hotels, announced the hotel company's growth plans in the Cabo San Lucas region. Currently with four hotels in its portfolio, the company is in the process of building a new hotel in the city center, the Hotel Cazola, which is expected to open its doors in June next year.

He also commented on Mexico Grand Hotels' commitment and investment in the region, highlighting job creation and contribution to the local community. Macías shared that he is fully focused on Cabo San Lucas, where he has invested much of his resources and energy, demonstrating his commitment to the tourist development of the area.

Additionally, the recognition granted by the Southern California Association of Timeshare Developers to Mexico Grand Hotels was highlighted, validating its compliance with all legal requirements to operate in a transparent and ethical manner. Javier Olivares, President of asudestico, highlighted the importance of this certification to generate credibility and trust among tourists and associates.

With a team of approximately 1,500 employees who report directly to Mexico Grand Hotels, the company continues to establish itself as a key player in the region's tourism industry, offering high-quality lodging experiences to its guests. With future plans to venture into real estate, Mexico Grand Hotels continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable growth and excellence in the Cabo San Lucas hospitality sector.

Since March, the Los Cabos Convention Center has raised five million pesos in rent, destined to meet various needs of the health sector in Baja California Sur. The company Baja Developed, in charge of the leasing, will invest around 80 million pesos in the rehabilitation of the property, reported Carlos Castro Ceseña, representative of the state government in the municipality of Los Cabos.

Castro Ceseña explained that the Convention Center, known as G-20, was leased in March under an agreement that has been rigorously fulfilled, with five million pesos already delivered. "The tenant has committed to rehabilitate the Center, working on cleaning and advancing in its conditioning for future cultural, artistic and other events," he said.

The building, previously a financial burden for the state government, now has a purpose and generates income destined for public health, preventing it from continuing to be a "white elephant." Castro Ceseña stressed that the funds obtained are used to cover medical expenses, including medicines and ambulances, both in Los Cabos and in other regions of the state.

The Undersecretary of Administration of the government of Baja California Sur oversees the orderly application of these resources, ensuring that they are allocated where they are most needed. Initially, Governor Víctor Castro Cosío considered converting the Convention Center into offices, but the high costs of rehabilitation, estimated at 27 to 30 million pesos, made this option unfeasible.

In addition, other government properties are also generating resources. The Convention Center of the government house in El Caimáncito, La Paz, is rented for 700 thousand pesos per month, funds that are distributed among the five municipalities for cultural, sports and educational purposes. The government house in San José del Cabo hopes to be leased or sold to finance community projects.

Baja Developed's investment will transform the Convention Center into a world-class event space, attracting event and convention tourism, in addition to the already popular sport fishing, golf and cruise tourism. "Los Cabos will distinguish itself as a strategic destination for both national and international tourism," concluded Castro Ceseña.
