Mayor Norma Bustamante of Mexicali presided over the closing ceremony of the “Book and Ball Summer Program”, a completely free initiative held from July 7 to 18 at the Polideportivo facilities that provided children the opportunity to develop new athletic and cultural skills.
The mayor of Mexicali acknowledged the joint efforts of the local institutes of culture and sports (IMACUM and IMDECUF, respectively):
“Once again, we’ve shown that by working together, we can achieve great things—like ensuring our children enjoy a healthy and fun summer,” she stated.
