Become a Wise Man

Nothing compares to the excitement of receiving a toy at Christmas or Three Kings Day; however, there are children who do not have that opportunity.

If this year you want to make it the Wizard King or Santa, there are different options to do it, but here we leave you two.

The first is through the Contagiando Voluntad Foundation, which every year organizes a collection of toys that are delivered to children who live in mountainous areas of Pico de Orizaba.

To be part of this collection, the first thing you have to do is register as Rey Mago on his Facebook page, sending a private message. Later you can go to Calle Luis 205, Colonia Pavón, Nezahualcóyotl. You can bring any toy, but avoid warlike ones and those that use batteries.

Another option is the Asociación México Juega, which is in charge of creating and managing a network of toy libraries.

You can join by donating games and semi-heavy toys, complete and in good condition, such as stuffed animals, puzzles, cloth dolls, etc. To find out the complete list and place of delivery, write to them through their social networks.
