In Mexico, Three Kings Day is celebrated in remembrance of the biblical story of the three wise mens visit to Jesus and the gifts they gave. Sandos Hotels & Resorts and their partners took this say to the next level to give back to their local communities.

 

Team Effort

In just one day, they traveled to 11 different communities in the Mayan Zone alongside Fundación Sandos and Juguetón Azteca, their dedicated guests and colleagues, and Seek & Go, an expert tour company, who also supported the Sandos Foundation by taking volunteers to all 11 communities.

It was a long day full of excitement for the volunteers, who, from days before, were supporting the Sandos Foundation collecting and organizing toys under the sun and rain.

 

 

Local Support

All toys that were present were made by Mexican hands. The Sandos team looked for producers of handmade toys from each corner of Mexico with the intention of helping small businesses and maintaining the tradition, as these special toys have entertained many generations in Mexico.

These handmade toys consisted of traditional Otomi dolls called Leles, board games, wooden carts, and many more. No child was left empty-handed with more than 3,400 toys delivered throughout the 11 communities.

 

 

Helping the Planet

Not only were the donated toys handmade, but they were free of plastic as well. So, by donating each one of these toys, Sandos gave a smile to each and every child in these communities and did it with a significantly low environmental impact!

In addition, for each toy donated, Sandos Hotels & Resorts donated another. What could be better?

 

 

Creating Bonds & Giving Smiles

Alongside the participation of our guests, volunteers, and employees, Sandos allied with Juguetón Azteca and celebrated its 25-year anniversary in the best way, giving smiles.

What did they say was most impactful to them? Seeing the emotion of each child, whether out of preschool or secondary school, as they received their gift. These expressions made all of their hard work and dedication worthwhile.

 

 

Sandos would like t to say a special thank you to all those who participated in this smile delivery. We are sure that with your support, next year will be just as impactful.
