Mexico Amigo is a charity founded in London in 1990 by a group of
enthusiastic Mexicans, led amongst others by Lady Barclay and Mr Bernardo
Sepúlveda Amor, then Mexican Ambassador to the United Kingdom. The vision
of the group was to establish an
institution that would, through fund raising
activities aimed at supporting philanthropic projects in
Mexico, preserve and promote the Mexican culture and
traditions amongst the Mexican community in Britain and increase the
awareness of these aspects in the wider British society. |

Since its formation, Mexico Amigo has been an active advocate of the
Mexican culture through the organisation of social events around
traditional Mexican festivities, and along the way, it has built a solid
community of Mexicans, Britons and foreigners that live in the
United Kingdom and share a common passion for and interest
in Mexico, its idiosyncrasy and its people. |

Throughout the years, with the hard work of its voluntary staff and the
generous contributions of members, donors and patrons alike, Mexico Amigo
has been able to support several projects aimed at increasing the living
conditions of hundreds of disadvantaged children in Mexico. |
